ἀντίδικος, ἀντίδικον (δίκη); as a substantive ἀντίδικος a. an opponent in a suit at law: Matthew 5:25; Luke 12:58; Luke 18:3 (Xenophon, Plato, often in the Attic orators).

b. universally, an adversavy, enemy (Aesehyl. Ag. 41; Sir. 33:9; 1 Samuel 2:10; Isaiah 41:11, etc.): 1 Peter 5:8 (unless we prefer to regard the devil as here called ἀντίδικος because he accuses men before God).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this common legal word we may refer to the interesting lawsuit regarding the identity of a child, which recalls so vividly 1 Kings 3:16 ff. : the prosecuting advocate states that his client had put the foundling in the defendant’s charge—τοῦτο ἐνεχείρισεν τῆι ἀντιδίκωι (P Oxy I. 37i. 8 (A.D. 49) (= Selections, p. 49). Cf. P Ryl II. 65.15 (B.C. 67 ?), P Oxy II. 237vii. 24, .32, viii. 12 (A.D. 186), BGU II. 592.7 (ii/A.D.), P Strass I. 41.7, .23f. (c. A.D. 250). Ἀντίδικος may be used of public opponents, as when the citizens of Abdera appealing to Rome against annexation by Cotys the Thracian speak of τ [οὺς προ ]νοουμένους τοῦ ἀντιδίκου ἡμῶν (Syll 303.24, before B.C. 146). It also is used in the plural, of a body of opponents, as several times in Syll 512 (ii/B.C.), the case of the children of Diagoras of Cos versus the town of Calymnus; also of the two parties, as in P Lille I. 29.24 (iii/B.C.), παρόντων τῶν ἀ. Silco, king of Nubia (vi/A.D.), concludes his ambitious effort at Greek with a terrible threat against οἱ ἀντίδικοί μου : this is the wider use found in 1 Peter 5:8 and the LXX, with classical warrant. The verb appears in Preisigke 2055.2 (iv/v A.D.) . . ] Ἄρεως ἀντιδικησαντ [ . . . , and the abstract in P Tor I. 1vi. 8f. (B.C. 177) αὐτοὶ καὶ τὴν πρὸς τὸν Ἑρμίαν κρίσιν ε ́γδικάσαντες ἐκστήσωσιν αὐτὸν τῆς πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἀντιδικίας.
