κυριακός [page 364] κυριακός , which occurs in 1Co_11:20 , Rev_1:10 , is described by Grimm-Thayer as a bibl. and eccles. word, but exx. of it from the inscrr. = Imperial are given by LS, and the same usage is amply supported by our documents. The following instances may suffice P Lond 328 .10 (A.D. 163) (= II. p. 75) a camel is provided εἰς κυριακὰς χρείας τῶν ἀπὸ Βερνείκης γεινο (μένων ) ποριῶν ( l. πορειῶν ), for Imperial service on the caravans that travel from Bernice, P Oxy III. 474 .41 (A.D. 184?) τοῦ κυριακοῦ χρήματος , the Imperial revenue, P Giss I. 48 .8 (A.D. 202 3) κατὰ κυριακῆς γῆς (see the editor s note), P Oxy XII. 1461 .10 (A.D. 222) ἐ̣ν κτήσει κυριακῇ , in Imperial ownership, BGU I. 1 .15 (iii/A.D.) εἰς τὸν κυριακὸν λόγον , into the Imperial treasury, and ib. 266 .18 (A.D. 216 7) εἰς τὰς ἐν Συρίᾳ κυρι [α ]κὰς ὑπηρεσίας , for the Imperial service in Syria. The earliest known ex. of this official use of the word is apparently OGIS 669 .18 (A.D. 68) εἰδὼς τοῦτο συμφέρειν καὶ ταῖς κυριακαῖς ψήφοις ( the Imperial finances ) , 18 ἔξω <ι > τῶν ὀφειλόντων εἰς τὸν κυριακὸν λόγον ( the Imperial treasury ) : see Deissmann LAE 2 p. 362 ff., where attention is also drawn to the significant use of Σεβαστή , as denoting Emperor s Day in this same inscr., and the conjecture is thrown out that the distinctive title Lord s Day may have been connected with conscious feelings of protest against the cult of the Emperor with its Emperor s Day (p. 364); cf. also Encycl. Bibl. 2813 ff., and Wilcken Ostr. i., p. 812. The word κυριακός had been previously discussed by Deissmann in BS p. 217 ff., and to his citations from the inscrr. we may add PAS ii. 14 (Makuf, ancient Heraclea, in Caria) ἀποτίσει τῷ κυριακῷ [φ ]ίσκῳ , ib. 21 (same place) ἀπο [τ ]είσει [τ ]ῷ κυριακῷ φίσκῳ (cited by Hatch JBL xxvii. 2, p. 138 f.). The word is used of a church-building in the iv/A.D. P Oxy VI. 903 .19 ἀπελθοῦσα [εἰ ]ς τὸ κυριακὸν ἐν Σαμβαθώ , when I had gone out to the church at Sambatho (Edd.), cf. 21 . A Syracusan inscr., Kaibel 737 no date, runs Ἡμέρᾳ κυριακῇ δεσμευθεῖσα ἀλύτοις καμάτοις ἐπὶ κοίτης , ἧς καὶ τοὔνομα Κυριακή , ἡμέρᾳ κυριακῇ παντὸς βίου λύσιν ἔσχε . MGr κυριακή , Sunday.

κυριακός κυ_ριακός, ή, όν [Etym: κύριος] "of or for a lord or master": esp. "belonging to the Lord (Christ);" Κ. δεῖπνον "the Lord's Supper", ἡ κυριακὴ ἡμέρα "the LORD'S day, dies Dominica", NTest. (Assumed to be original of the Teutonic "kirk, kirche, church;" but how this Greek name came to be adopted by the Northern nations, rather than the Roman name "ecclesia", has not been satisfactorily explained.)
