σύνδουλ-ος, ὁ, ἡ,
fellow-slave, masc., Id. Ion 1109, Ar. Pax 745 (anap.), Theopomp.Com. 32.8, Lys. Fr. 331 S., Herod. 5.56, Matthew 18:29, etc.; fem., Hdt. 2.134, E. Med. 65, etc.; also fem. συνδούλη, Hdt. 1.110, Babr. 3.6.
2. metaph. in NT, Colossians 1:7, Revelation 6:11, al. (The statement of Moeris p.273 P., ὁμόδουλος Ἀττικῶς, σύνδουλος Ἑλληνικῶς, is incorrect: Poll. 3.82 distinguishes ς. 'slave of the same master' fr. ὁμόδουλος 'companion in slavery'.)
σύνδουλος, συνδούλου, ὁ (σύν and δοῦλος), a fellow-servant; one who serves the same master with another; thus used of
a. the associate of a servant (or slave) in the proper sense: Matthew 24:49.
b. one who with others serves (ministers to) a king: Matthew 18:28, 29, 31, 33.
c. the colleague of one who is Christ's servant in publishing the gospel: Colossians 1:7; Colossians 4:7 ((where cf. Lightfoot)).
d. one who with others acknowledges the same Lord, Jesus, and obeys his commands: Revelation 6:11.
e. one who with others is subject to the same divine authority in the Messianic economy: so of angels as the fellow-servants of Christians, Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:9. (Moeris says, p. 273, ὁμόδουλος ἀττικως, σύνδουλος ἑλληνικως. But the word is used by Aristophanes, Euripides, Lysias.)
