DEMAR'CHUS (δήμαρχος). An officer amongst the Greeks (Plaut. Curc. ii. 3. 7.), resembling in many respects the Tribune of the people amongst the Romans, particularly in the power he possessed of convening meetings of the demus (δῆμος), and of taking the votes on all questions submitted to the assembly; whence the word is employed by the Greeks as a translation for the Latin tribunus plebis. Plut. Cor. 7.
