Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀποσυνάγωγος, ἀποσυναγωγον (συναγωγή, which see), excluded from the sacred assemblies of the Israelites; excommunicated, (A. V. put out of the synagogue): Joh 9:22; Joh 12:42; Joh 16:2. Whether it denotes also exclusion from all contact with Israelites (2Es 10:8), must apparently be left in doubt; cf. Winers (or Riehm) RWB under the word Bann; Wieseler on Gal 1:8, p. 45ff (reproduced by Prof. Riddle in Schaff’s Lange’s Romans, pp. 304-306; cf. B. D. under the word ). (Not found in secular authors.)
