Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀντίδικος, ἀντίδικον (δίκη); as a substantive ὁ ἀντίδικος a. an opponent in a suit at law: Mat 5:25; Luk 12:58; Luk 18:3 (Xenophon, Plato, often in the Attic orators).
b. universally, an adversavy, enemy (Aesehyl. Ag. 41; Sir 33:9; 1Sa 2:10; Isa 41:11, etc.): 1Pe 5:8 (unless we prefer to regard the devil as here called ἀντίδικος because he accuses men before God).
