Rhet. i. 5. 7), hence a member of one s family or household, is seen in such passages as P Lille I. 7 .5 (iii/B.C.) διατρίβοντος γάρ μου μετὰ Ἀπολλωνίου ἐμοῦ (αὐτοῦ inserted above line) οἰκείου , P Magd 13 .2 (B.C. 217) ἀδικούμεθα ὑπὸ Θευδότου καὶ Ἀγάθωνος , οἵ εἰσιν οἰκεῖοι τῆς μητρὸς Φιλίππου , P Grenf II. 28 .5 (B.C. 103) με [τ ]ὰ κυρίου ἑαυτῆς οἰκήου Θοτούτης , Preisigke 6 .10 (A.D. 216) πρώην οὖν εἰς τὸν τόπον ε [ἰ ]σελθόντων τῶν οἰκείων μου . . . οὐχ εὑρε̣θ̣η̣ τ [ὰ σ ]ειτάρια κεκουφισμένα , and for the neut. cf.

For the wider sense of οἰκεῖος , intimate, spiritually akin with, in its NT occurrences ( Gal_6:10 , Eph_2:19 , 1Ti_5:8 ), see Whitaker Exp VIII. xxiii. p. 76 ff. The exhausted οἰκεῖος , practically equal to a possessive pronoun, is common in Hellenistic writers such as Josephus (exx. in Schmidt Jos. p. 369). For οἰκεῖος = ἴδιος in Epictetus, see Stob. 11 ὅπερ οὖν σοι φυσικὸν καὶ συγγενές , ὁ λόγος , τοῦτο καὶ οἰκεῖον ἡγησάμενος τούτου ἐπιμελοῦ , that therefore which is natural and congenial to thee, Reason, think to be specially thy own and take care of it (Sharp, p. 127).

A.D. 280), where a widow appeals to the Prefect for protection against the aggression of a certain Syrion οἰκίωται δὲ τῷ προκειμένῳ Συρίω [νι ἐμὲ τὴν χήρα ]ν̣ μετὰ νηπίων τέκνων ἀεὶ ἀποστερεῖν , but it is characteristic of the aforesaid Syrion on all occasions to rob me and my young children (Edd.).
