Margaret:
If you have access to a library, then turn up Alfred Edersheim, /The Life
and Times of Jesus the Messiah/, 2 vols., London, 1900, vol 1, pp 514-521.
This gives a full survey of the various types of TELWNAI at work in
first-century Palestine, and a full discussion of the implications of the
conversion of Levi/Matthew, and a consideration of the "memorable gathering
[that] took place in the house of Matthew".
Enjoy.
Ben
