Cicero calls them subrastrani, those who hung round the rostra, or platform for speakers in the forum; and Plautus, subbasilicani, the loungers round the court - house or exchange. The word occurs only here and ch. 19 38, on which see note. Gathered a company [ο χ λ ο π ο ι η σ α ν τ ε ς]. Rev., better, a crowd.. Only here in New Testament.
