"an end, termination," whether of time or purpose, denotes, in its secondary significance, "what is paid for public ends, a toll, tax, custom," Matthew 17:25 (RV, "toll"); Romans 13:7 (RV and AV, "custom"). In Palestine the Herods of Galilee and Perea received the "custom;" in Judea it was paid to the procurator for the Roman government. See END , FINALLY , UTTERMOST.

denotes "a custom-house," for the collection of the taxes, Matthew 9:9; Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27 (RV, "place of toll").
