11.89 · Groups and Classes of Persons and Members of Such Groups and Classes · Socio-Political
neighbor, brother a person who lives close beside others and who thus by implication is a part of a so-called in-group, that is, the group with which an individual identifies both ethnically and culturally It may be that of the three terms γείτων, περίοικος[b], the last is somewhat broader in meaning. At least πλησίον is used in LUK 10:27 in a somewhat extended sense of ‘fellow man,’ while ἀδελφός[e] probably suggests a more intimate or close relationship.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
γείτων. BGU III. 8307 (i/A.p.) ἐπὶ γὰρ καὶ γείτων αὐτοῦ εἰ[μ]ί, P Oxy Ν. 1272! (a.p. 144) ὑπόνοιαν οὖν κατὰ [τ]ῶν γειτόνων μου, “having some suspicion against my neighbours’’ (Edd.). The adj. is very common in descriptions of locality, e.g. P Par κ᾿ 8 (B.c. 114) τὸν εἰς Taynv οἶκον . οὗ γείτονες" νότου οἰκία “Αρπαήσιος, βορρᾶ ψιλοὶ τόποι κτλ., P Oxy I. 997 (A.D. 55) γείτονες τῆς ὅλης οἰκίας, νότου] καὶ ἀπηλιώτο[υ] δημόσιαι ῥῦμαι, Ν, 12768 (A.p. 249) τῆς δὲ ὅλης γείτονες νότου ῥύμη τυφλή, ‘the adjacent areas of the whole are on the south a blind street”? (Edd.). Τειτνία and yetvidw are used in a similar way—P Tebt I. 1410 (B.c. 114) γειτνίας, “adjoining areas,’’ 2b. 10518 (B.c. 103) πλὴν τῆς γειτνιώσης τῆι Oodvios, ‘except that which adjoins the land of Thoonis,’’ P Sa‘id Khan 22-8 (p.c. 22) ὅρια Kal γειτνίαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνατολῶν KTA. This noun may =‘ neighbourhood,” as in P Flor III. 319° (a.p. 132-7) ot ἐν γιτνίᾳ μου ὄντες. See also Sy// 929°8 (ii/B.c.) for a verb γειτονέω. In MGr γείτονας = “ neighbour,” γελάω. Syll 8027° (iii/B.c.) τὸν δὲ θεὸν γελάσαντα φάϊ[μ]εν νιν παυσεῖν (τᾶς νόσου), P Oxy IIT. 47188 (ii/A.p.) γέλωτα πολὺν Kal ἀνειμένον. . (Edd.) with the same articulation as ourselves, we may refer to P Leid W αἰ. °° (ii)iii A.D.) εἰπὼν ἐκρότησε Ὑ, κ(αὶ)ἐγέλασεν ὁ θεὸς ἑπιτάκις, χα, χα, XA, XA, χα, XA, Xa. γελάσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐγεννήθησαν θεοὶ ἵ, οἵτινες τὰ πάντα περιέχουσιν. A Lycian epitaph may be quoted from Ormerod and Robinson’s inserr. in 7115 xxxiv. p. 1 ff.: no. 267° παῖζε γέλα παροδεῖτα, βλέπων ὅτι Kal σὲ θανεῖν Set—it is the analogue of the . γελᾶν, “laughed long and freely ” If we desiderate proof that the ancients laughed
