Megaba'zus
6. The priest or keeper (
νεώκορος) of the temple of Artemis at Ephesus. (
Xen. Anab. 5.3. §§ 6, 7.)
It appears from Strabo (
xiv. p.641) that the Megabyzi, or, as he calls them, the Megalobyzi, were eunuch priests in the temple of Artemis. Another of these priests is mentioned by Appian (
App. BC 5.9) as having incurred the anger of Cleopatra.
