Asia proper, 🇬🇷 (Ptol. 5, 2), or proconsular Asia [often so called from the 16th cent. down; but correctly speaking it was a provincia consularis, although the ruler of it was vested with ‘proconsular power.’ The ‘Asia’ of the N. T. must not be confounded with the ‘Asia proconsularis’ of the 4th cent.], embracing Mysia, Lydia, Phrygia and Caria [cf. Cic. pro Flac. c. 27]: Acts vi. 9 [L om.

🇬🇷, 🇬🇷, an Asiarch, President of Asia: Acts xix. 31. Each of the cities of proconsular Asia, at the autumnal equinox, assembled its most honorable and opulent citizens, in order to select one to preside over the games to be exhibited that year, at his expense, in honor of the gods and the Roman emperor. Thereupon each city reported the name of the person selected to a general assembly held in some leading city, as Ephesus, Smyrna, Sardis. This general council, called 🇬🇷, selected ten out of the number of candidates, and sent them to the proconsul; and the proconsul, apparently, chose one of these ten to preside over the rest. This explains how it is that in Acts l. c. several Asiarchs are spoken of, while Eusebius h. e. 4, 15, 27 mentions one; [perhaps also the title outlasted the service]. Cf. Meyer on Acts l. c.; Win. RWB. s. v. Asiarchen; [BB.DD. s. v.; but esp. Le Bas et Waddington, Voyage Archéol. Inscrr. part. v. p. 244 sq.; Kuhn.
