a fellow-disciple:

Phrynichus says that
σύν is not prefixed to
πολίτης,
δημότης,
φυλέτης, and the like, but only to those nouns which denote an association which is
πρόσκαιρος i. e. temporary, as
συενφηβος,
συνθιασώτης,
συμπότης. The Latin also observes the same distinction and says
commilito meus, but not
concivis, but
civis meus; see
Phryn. ed. Lob., p. 471; (cf. p. 172;
Winer's 25).)
