Ministrel [1]
1: μουσικός (Strong'S #3451 mousikos moo-sik-os' )
is found in Revelation 18:22 , Rv, "ministrels" (Av, "musicians"); inasmuch as other instrumentalists are mentioned, some word like "minstrels" is necessary to make the distinction, hence the Rv; Bengel and others translate it "singers." Primarily the word denoted "devoted to the Muses" (the nine goddesses who presided over the principal departments of letters), and was used of anyone devoted to or skilled in arts and sciences, or "learned."
