Ladies and Gentlemen:
Another query if I may...

I've been trying to establish why hO ARXWN [TOU KOSMOU]  is translated as 
Prince in e.g John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11 (a good year ;-)).
There is [imho] a qualitative difference between a ruler and a prince and 
I've not yet read anything (Barrett, Morris, Westcott commentaries, 
TDNT/Kittel, BAG) that provides a convincing answer [to me] as to why we 
would use "prince" rather than "ruler".

Any insights on this would be appreciated.

Rgds
Steve
