2. the common people, the people generally; esp. the people assembled: Act.12:22 17:5 19:30 33.
† SYN.: λαός, the people at large: δ., the people as a body politic; opposite to δ. is ὄχλος, the unorganized multitude. ἔθνος, in sing., means in NT as in Gk. writers generally, a nation, but in pl. denotes the rest of mankind apart from the Jews: Gentiles. λ. also, rare in cl. (Att... λεώς), is frequently in LXX and NT, and usually limited to the chosen people, Israel (cf. Cl. Rev., i, 42 f.; Cremer, 689). (AS)
