tax collector, publican

Senses
1. tax collector, publican A person who collects taxes or customs duties on behalf of the Roman government, often despised in Jewish society for collaborating with the occupying power. All twenty-one occurrences refer to the same social role. Cross-linguistic evidence is consistent: Spanish 'publicano/recaudadores/cobrador-de-impuestos,' Hindi 'chungi-lenevale/kar-vasulnevale,' Arabic 'ʿashshar/ʿashsharin,' Korean 'seri,' Swahili 'mtoza-ushuru/watoza-ushuru.' The two clusters differ only in number (plural N-NMP/N-GMP vs singular N-NMS/N-AMS), referring to the same occupation in every case—from Levi/Matthew's calling to Jesus' association with tax collectors. 21×
