STRONGS G4827:
συμμαθητής (
T WH συνμαθητης (cf.
ἀπό, II. at the end)),
συμμαθητου,
ὁ,
a fellow-disciple:
John 11:16 (
Plato, Euthyd., p. 272 c.;
Aesop fab. 48). (
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).)
