1. equivalent to ὁ ἐπ’ ἀλλοτρίας νεώς πλέων μισθοῦ, ὁ ἐπιβάτης; so Hesychius, with whom agree Phavorinus and the Schol. ad Aristophanes, Plutarch, 521; and so the word is used by Homer.
2. after Homer one on a journey, whether by sea or by land, especially for traffic; hence,
3. a merchant (opposed to κάπηλος a retailer, petty tradesman): Rev 18:3; Rev 18:11; Rev 18:15; Rev 18:23; ἄνθρωπος ἔμπορος (see ἄνθρωπος, 4 a.), Mat 13:45 (WH text omits ἄνθρωπος). (the Sept. for ñÉçÅã and øÉëÅì.)
