δῶμα, δώματος, τό (δέμω, to build); 1. a building, house, (Homer and following). 2. a part of a building, dining-room, hall, (Homer and following). 3. in the Script. equivalent to γααγ house-top, roof (Winer's Grammar, 23): Mat_24:17; Mar_13:15; Luk_5:19; Luk_17:31. The house-tops of the Orientals were (and still are) level, and were frequented not only for walking but also for meditation and prayer: Act_10:3; hence, ἐπί δωμάτων, on the house-tops, i. e. in public: Mat_10:27; Luk_12:3; ἐπί τό δῶμα ... κατ' ὀφθαλμούς παντός Ἰσραήλ, 2Sa_16:22.

δῶμα dōma 7x pr. a house; synec. a roof, Mat_10:27 ; Mat_24:17

δῶμα , -τος , τό ( < δέμω , to build ), [in LXX for H1406 ;] chiefly in poets and late (not Attic ) prose; 1. a house, hall. 2. In LXX (and Hom ., Od., x, 554; cf. MGr ., terrace), house-top: ἐπὶ τ . δῶμα , Luk_5:19 , Act_10:9 ; ἐπὶ τ . δώματος , -άτων , Mat_10:27 ; Mat_24:17 , Mar_13:15 , Luk_12:3 ; Luk_17:31 .†

δῶμα [page 174] In P Oxy III. 475 .22 (A.D. 182) βουληθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ δώματος τῆς αὐτῆς οἰκίας παρακύψαι καὶ θεάσασθαι τὰς [κρο ]ταλιστρίδας of a young slave who was killed in trying to see a performance of castanet players in the street below δῶμα is clearly to be understood as the top of the house, whether a top room or the flat roof as in Mar_13:15 etc. Cf. P Strass I. 14 .12 (A.D. 211) ἐ ]ν̣ ἀπρ [ά ]τ̣ῳ δώμ̣α̣τ̣ι ἐν τῇ λαύρᾳ τῶν Ποιμένων , where the editor renders auf einem unverkδuflichen flachen Dache in der Hirtenstrasse, and the late P Flor I. 13 .6 (vi/vii A.D.) τῆ [ς ] αὐλῆς καὶ το ( l. τοῦ ) δώματο [ς , della terrazza sul tetto della casa (Vitelli). The note on this last passage quotes Babrius 5 .5 , of a cock which εἰς τὸ δῶμα πηδήσας ἐπικροτῶν τε τοῖς πτεροῖς ἐκεκράγει . Add P Tebt I. 123 .12, .14 (early i/B.C.), 241 verso (B.C. 74) ἔχωι ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος . In P Petr I. 26 .10 (B.C. 241) ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων , the context is fragmentary, but the editor understands it of difficulties attending the arrangements of new homesteads in the Fayϋm. We have the word twice in a Petrograd ostracon, no. 34 .6 f. , published by Zereteli in Archiv v. p. 179, τὸ ξύλον το̣, [μυρί ]κινον τὸ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ , ἂν χρῄζῃς , [εἰς τὰ δ ]ώματα λαβὲ καὶ εν .υλια , ἂν χρῄζῃς , ἐκ τοῦ δώματο̣[ς ]λαβέ : the editor prints χ ?]ώματα , but Wilcken emends. In P Ryl II. 233 .3 (ii/A.D.) ὅταν δὲ ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ ἐκβῶμεν καὶ τὸ δῶμα ἀσφαλισθήσεται is rendered by the edd. but when we reach a fortunate issue and the house is established. A rather striking epitaph, Kaibel 720, reminding us distantly of the great passage in Lucretius (iii. 894 ff.) which Gray imitated in the Elegy , has the lines κοὐκέτι σοι φάος ἠελίοιο , οὐδὲ τὰ κλεινὰ δὲ δώματα Ῥώμης , οὔδ᾽ ἄλοχος (= husband ), οὔτε φίλη κασιγνήτη Here again the meaning is house , which has only shrunk into room in MGr.

δῶμα δῶμα, ατος, τό, [Etym: δέμω] "a house", Hom. , Trag. : "part of a house, the chief room, hall", Hom. :—hence in pl. for "a single house", Od. , Trag. "a house, household, family", Aesch. , Soph.
