Worshipper, [E]

a translation of the Greek word neocoros , used once only, ( Acts 19:35 ) in the margin, "temple-keeper." The neocoros was originally an attendant in a temple probably intrusted with its charge.

The first occurrence of the term in connection with Ephesus is on coins of the age of Nero, A.D. 54-68. [E] indicates this entry was also found in Easton's Bible Dictionary
