The Greek that is translated as “magician” is translated in Teutila Cuicatec and Eastern Highland Otomi as “witch doctor” and in Lalana Chinantec as “person who grabs magic words.” (Source: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.)
In Kalmyk the word used for magician means “deceiver, cheat, charlatan.” (Source: David Clark in The Bible Translator 2013, p. 54ff. )
