Headword: Ἐθελοπρόξενος
Adler number: epsilon,311
Translated headword: voluntary proxenos
Vetting Status: low

The one who became [a proxenos] by himself, not after instruction by the city. For the [ordinary] proxenoi were under instruction from their own city.
Greek Original:
Ἐθελοπρόξενος: ὁ ἀφ' ἑαυτοῦ γενόμενος καὶ μὴ κελευσθεὶς ἐκ τῆς πόλεως. οἱ γὰρ πρόξενοι κελευόμενοι ἐκ τῆς ἑαυτῶν πόλεως ἐγίνοντο.
Note:
The word etheloproxenos is used (coined?) by Thucydides, 3.70.3.

For the ordinary kind of proxenoi see OCD p.1268 (correctly defining them - contrary to the explanation given here - as appointed by another city to function in their own).
