an adjective denoting "hired," is used as a noun, signifying "one who is hired," "hired servants," Mark 1:20; "hireling," John 10:12,13; here, it expresses, not only one who has no real interest in his duty (that may or may not be present in its use in Mark 1:20 , and in misthios, No. 2), but one who is unfaithful in the discharge of it; that sense attaches always to the word rendered "hireling."
an adjective, akin to No. 1, and similarly signifying "a hired servant," is used in Luke 15:17,19 (in some texts, ver. 21).
