κοιτών [page 351] This late word = bed-chamber, which is condemned by Phrynichus (ed. Lobeck, p. 252), may be illustrated from P Tebt I. 120 .14 (B.C. 97 or 64) ἐν τῶι κοιτῶ (νι ), P Oxy I. 76 .20 (A.D. 179) συμπόσιον καὶ κοιτῶνα , ib. III. 471 .73 (ii/A.D.) ἐκ τ [οῦ ] κοιτῶνος ἐξιόντα τὸν παῖδα . This last papyrus shows also ( .84 ) κοιτωνείτης , chamberlain : κοιτονικὴ μία , a bed-cover or mattress, is mentioned on an ostracon containing an inventory of clothing and furniture, Mιl. Nicole p. 184, No. 10 .2 (prob. Ptol.). In the inscrr. we frequently meet with ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ κοιτῶνος = cubicularius, e.g. OGIS 256 .5 ( c. B.C. 130) ἐπὶ τοῦ κοιτῶνος τῆς βασιλίσσης (other exx. in Magie, p. 73) : cf. Act_12:20 .
