SYN.: συγγενής, ἴδιος (v. Cremer, 446; Deiss., BS., 123).

οἰκεῖος VIII. ττ658 (vi/a.p.), and 7. VI. 9423 (vi/vii a.p.): cf. 2 Cor 125. In 2.8 and 1 Cor 115 Field (Mores, Ρ- 187) suggests that οἶδα might be rendered ‘‘I remember,” and cites Lucian Dial. Meretr. i. 1: οἶσθα αὐτόν, ἢ ἐπιλέλησαι Tov ἄνθρωπον ; οὐκ, ἀλλ᾽ οἶδα, ὦ Γλυκέριον. The meaning “ἀρργεοίαξε,᾿᾿ ‘‘respect,”’ in 1 Thess 515 can now be paralleled from P Goodspeed 37 (ili/B.c.) (= Wthowski>, p. 47) ἔδο]ξέ [μο]ι ν[ῦ]ν περὶ τοῦ ὁράματος διασαφῆσαί σοι, ὅπως εἰδῆις, ὃν τρόπον οἱ θεοί σε οἴδασιν, where the meaning apparently is, ‘‘in order that you may know as clearly as the gods know you.” Notice also in the above the early occurrence of the Hellenistic οἴδασιν. The literary ἴσασιν is found in the NT only in Ac 264: cf. Blass Philology, p. 9. Eph 5° ἴστε γινώσκοντες is sometimes treated as a Hebraism (‘‘ye know of a surety”” RV: cf. Gen 15%), but the verbs are different, and the meaning is rather ‘‘ ye know by what you observe’ (Westcott ad. /.). Oi8es for οἶδας occurs in BGU III, 923" (i/ii a.p.) ot8es σὺ οἶδες οὖν τῇ ἀδελφῇ σοι ὡς ἔγραψες (cf.1? ἤρηχες -εἴρηκας) Ἡρᾶτι, 720. II. 380} (iii/A.D.) εἰ δὲ οἶδες σατῷ, ὅτι ἔχεις ἔτι, γράψον μοι, P Oxy VII. 10677° (iii/a.p.) εἰ οἶδες (cf.° ἀφῆκες) ὅτι οὐ μέλλεις ἐλθεῖν, πέμψον μοι τὸν ἀδελφόν σου, and 74. XII. 15935 (iv/a.D.) περὶ d{t} οἶδες οὐδεμίαν ὑπόμνησίν μοι ἐδήλωσας. The form is apparently not so rare as Mayser (G7. p. 321) would imply, though it seems generally to occur in the writings of uncultured scribes. Οἴδαμεν is the usual form in Epict. (e.g. ii. 20. 32) as in the NT, though ἴσμεν occurs once (ii. 17. 13): see Sharp Afict. Ρ. 83f. “Iore is found in the NT in Eph 5°, Heb 121”, Jas 119 (cf. LXX 3 Macc 34): for ἴστωσαν cf. P Hamb I. 298 (time of Domitian) ot προτεθέντες ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ Kal μὴ ὑπακούσαντες ἴστωσαν, ὅτι... Οἶδα is extinct in MGr, except for the phrases tls οἶδε; ‘‘who knows?”. Κύριος οἶδε, ‘‘ Heaven knows’’: see Jannaris Gr. ὃ 970».
