    DefinitionShort: a group of people constituting a socio-political unit
    Glosses: ['state', 'people']
    Comments: It is possible that in {S:04900201200020} the use of πολιτεία suggests not merely a socio-political but also a socio-religious grouping. Such a conclusion would, in a sense, be true of any and all designations of a Jewish constituency, since religion and ethnic identification were so inextricably bound together.
