But so many sources translate this word as a census, so does anybody know of a reason for this? If so, let me know here and we can discuss and possibly change it. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 18:54, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

==Luke 3:1==
In this particular instances, as weird as the word is to us today, each of the men identified including Herod Agrippa is τετρααρχοῦντος - tetrarch. A tetrarch was one who ruled over 1/4 of the empire and was subordinate only to the emperor. King gets used frequently incorrectly used to refer to Herod Agrippa in translating this term, but he was not a king and Judea was not a kingdom.
