κατάλυμα. For this noun (the Hellenistic equivalent of καταγωγεῖον), as in Lk 27 (cf. Exod 454), see P Par 34° (ii/B.c.) εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα τῶν ᾿Αρσινοϊτῶν, where the reference is to the “lodging-place” provided for the inhabitants of Arsinoé in the Serapeum. Elsewhere in Biblical Greek, e.g. 1 Kings 113, Mk 1413, it has rather the sense of ‘‘guest-room.” KardéAvots is similarly used in P Petr 11. 14(14)? τὴν βασιλεικὴν κατάλυσιν, where Mahaffy notes that the Royal quarters served as an ‘‘inn”’ for the convenience of officials who visited the place. In P Magd 81° (B.c. 218) we have κατ]άλυσιν τοῦ βίου, ‘ the dissolution of life.’” MGr karaλυμα, ‘ lodging.
