• The city-rulers,1 a peculiar title of the local authorities, which so much the more attests Luke's accuracy, because it occurs in no known remains of Greek antiquity. But an inscription still extant on the marble arch of the western or Vardar gate of Saloniki proves that such was the title of the Thessalonian magistrates, and that there were seven. (“Acts 17:1-15” by W. Kelly)
• {v.6-7} That the preachers of divine grace turned the world upside down was natural to say, and became a standing reproach, however untrue. {v.7} Yet is it intelligible because the gospel penetrates among high and low, and separates from the world by a divine bond to Christ in heaven. (“Acts 17:1-15” by W. Kelly)

Or, "politarchs." The Greek noun here is a word with its cognate verb, of common occurrence in Dio Cassius, for praefect or commandant of a city, besides its broader usage in the past as said of a king or prince. But I do not find it applied to magistrates in Greek cities, only to the praefect of Rome.
