 Re: Presbyteros and newterous
It is well known that Ignatius of Antioch gives witness to the recent) emergence of a three-fold-office structure in certain communities: one episkopos, under him a group of presbyteroi and a group of diakonoi (a structure nowhere clearly attested in the NT), so that the title episkopos is now no longer widely interchangeable with presbyteros.
However, in light of the discussion above, attention should be paid to Polycarp, Phillipians 5:3, for there neoteroi are told to be subject to both presbyters and deacons.
Just as ultimately presbyters became subject to bishops, so neoteroi became subordinate to diakonoi; and it seems that at least for a brief period the two sets of terms yielded four offices or roles.

 Virgil Aeneid by Virgil, ISBN 0521278163 And Warfare in Ancient Greece: A Sourcebook by Michael Sage, ISBN 0415143551
Gransden sees the second half of the Roman national epic as "Virgil's Iliad." In his introduction and commentary, he relates the themes and structure of Book XI not only to the rest of the Aeneid but also to relevant passages in the Iliad.
Gransden shows how, despite his adoption of the epic form, Virgil's style is influenced by Alexandrian miniaturism, Callimachean theory, and the poetry of the neoteroi.
In addition to questions of style and interpretation raised in the commentary, there are sections in the introduction covering the Virgilian hexameter and narrative technique.

 J. W. McGarvey's Commentary on Acts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
They were not theorists, with a constitution and by-laws drawn up in advance, to which, under all circumstances, the Church must conform; but they allowed the condition of the congregation, from time to time, to dictate the provisions which should be made, and therefore the provisions which were made precisely such as were needed.
Hitherto the Church had been without an officer of any kind, except the apostles; for the supposition advanced by some writers, that the young men, oi neoteroi, who buried Ananias and Sapphira, were regularly-appointed officers, is without foundation, except in the analogy of later and unscriptural organizations.
Seeing, then, that the Church in Jerusalem existed for a time under the control of the apostles alone, it follows that a Church may now exist under the written teaching alone of the same apostles.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bishop
In addition to these we find bishops and deacons who possess neither authority nor disciplinary power, who were charged solely with certain functions relative to administration and Divine worship.
The members of the community itself were divided into two classes: the elders (presbyteroi) and the youths (neoteroi).
A college of presbyters was established at an early date at Jerusalem and in Palestine, but elsewhere not before the second century; its members were chosen from among the presbyteroi, and in its hands lay all authority and disciplinary power.

 Gaius Valerius Catullus Biography - Poetry - PoemofQuotes.com
And just one year later Catullus held a political office on the staff of the governor of Bithynia.
Catullus' poetry was influenced mostly by the Greek neoteroi, especially that of Callimachus, who created a new style of poetry turning away from classical epic poetry in the tradition of Homer.
The poetry instead focused on personal themes, although seeming quite superficial and the subject of everyday concerns.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hierarchy of the Early Church
The two facts that in the early Christian literature the elders (presbyteroi) are frequently contrasted with the younger members (neoteroi) and that, as late as the third century, Christians who have suffered for the Faith are given the honorary title of presbyter (cf.
On the one hand it would seem that the exhortation is addressed to presbyter-bishops as a governing body, while on the other hand the opposition between the presbyters and the younger men (neoteroi) points to merely patriarchal relations.
After the "ancients" had become superiors in the strict sense, the "younger men" were considered as subjects.

That the term diakonos could be applied to a woman is known from Rom 16:1.25 In the passage on deacons in 1 Tim 3:8-13, rules are laid down for women in 3:11, and some have argued that these are the wives of the deacons.

 Fragmenta : Upsaid journal
March 31 2004 A.D. Not much to say tonight, mostly because I haven't read much.
Acts 5:6 The "young men" (hoi neoteroi) who carry out the dead Ananias and Sapphira really do sound to me like they might be some sort of officers of the church -- perhaps equivalent to the synagogue's hyperetai ("attendants")?
Besides the attractive semantic parallel it would offer to "elders" (presbyteroi), the main reason this occurs to me is that the word is used here with no previous introduction, as though Luke expects his readers to be familiar with these persons.

 Gaius Valerius Catullus Biography / Biography of Gaius Valerius Catullus Main Biography
He is best known for the intense poems which reflect various stages in his love affair with "Lesbia."
Catullus belonged to a circle of neoteroi, or "new poets," who used as their models the learned Greek poet-scholars at Alexandria in the Hellenistic period and wrote elegant, allusive, and highly finished poems on love, mythology, and other topics.
They cherished the epithet docti, "learned." Catullus's friends were the poets C. Licinius Macer Calvus, Furius Bibaculus, and C. Helvius Cinna; the orator Q. Hortensius, Cicero's rival in the law courts; and the biographer Cornelius Nepos, to whom Catullus dedicated his book of poems.

His poetry focused on personal matters and expressed strong emotion.
He was heavily influenced by the Greek neoteroi, especially Callimachus and they presented a new way of writing poetry; “Their poems no longer described the feats of ancient heroes and gods but concentrated on small-scale personal themes” (CWFE website).
