ναύκληρος and ἰδιοναύκληρος Acts27:11

Post by Stephen Hughes »

Acts 27:11 wrote:Ὁ δὲ ἑκατοντάρχης τῷ κυβερνήτῃ καὶ τῷ ναυκλήρῳ ἐπείθετο μᾶλλον ἢ τοῖς ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου λεγομένοις.
Is the mere existence of the word ἰδιοναύκληρος enough of a basis upon which to speculate that ναύκληρος could mean representative of a group of investors?
