"Thirty families choose every year a magistrate, who was anciently called the Syphogrant, but is now called the Philarch; and over every ten Syphogrants, with the families subject to them, there is another magistrate, who was anciently called the Tranibore, but of late the Archphilarch. All the Syphogrants, who are in number two hundred, choose the Prince out of a list of four who are named by the people of the four divisions of the city..." (Utopia, Thomas More Chapter: "of their magistrates") Syphogrant is the ancient name of the lower magistrate in Utopia, the ideal land invented ad described by Thomas More in his book Utopia. More informations about this role can be found reading the chapter "of their magistrates" . His ethymology is incertain.
