οἰκία, -ας, ἡ

(< οἶκος), [in LXX chiefly (very freq.) for בַּיִת;]

a house, dwelling: Mt 2:11 7:24-27, Mk 1:29, al.; ἐν οἰκίᾳ (= cl. κατ ̓ οἰκίαν), at home, Lk 8:27; εἰς οἰ., II Jo 10; οἰ, c. gen. pers., usually has the art. (Mt 8:14, al., but cf. οἶκος and v. Bl., § 46, 9); ἡ οἰ. τ. πατρός μου, Jo 14:2. Metaph., of the body as the dwelling of the soul: II Co 5:1;

of property (as בַּיִת, Ge 45:18, LXX, τ. ὑπάρχοντα; III Ki 13:8, LXX, οἶκος) = οἶκος (q.v.): Mk 12:40, Lk 20:47;

of the inmates of the dwelling, the household: Mt 12:25; c. gen. pers., Jo 4:53, I Co 16:15.

SYN.: οἶκος, which in Attic law denoted the whole estate, οἰκία, the dwelling only. In cl. poets οἶκος has also the latter sense, but not in prose, except in metaph. usage, where it signifies both property and household. The foregoing distinction is not, however, consistently maintained in late Greek; cf. MM, ii, xvii, and v. Thayer, s.v. οἰκία.

οἰκία. For οἰκία, ‘‘a house,” in the ordinary sense of the term, it is sufficient to cite such passages as P Petr IT. 12(1)” (B.C. 241) ἐνωικοδομηκότας τὰς θύρας τῶν οἰκιῶν, ‘built up the doors of the houses,” zd. I. 1410 (a Will—s.c. 237) Katahipmavw . . [τὴν élv ᾿Αλεξανδρείαι οἰκίαν ἐμοὶ ὑπάρχουσαν, Ρ Ryl IT. 12535 (a.p. 28-0) ἔριψεν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μου τὴν πυξίδα κενήν, “he threw the box empty into my house ’’ (Edd.), P Oxy I. 99° (A.D. 55) μέρος ἥμισυ τῆς ὑπαρχούσης αὐτῷ μητρικῆς οἰκία[ς] τριστέγου, “ one half of a three-storied house inherited from his mother,” and BGU I. 2255 (A.D. 114) (= Selections, p. 76) ἀνέβη εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν pov. In phrases similar to the last, the word οἰκία is sometimes omitted, e.g. P Oxy III. 4724 (c. A.D. 130) ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ τε kal τοῦ κληρονομεῖν μέλλοντος υἱοῦ προῆλQe, ‘but it was from the house of himself and his son and future heir that he came forth’’ (Edd.), P Iand 14° (iv/a.p.) ἄπελθε εἰς Avxlov. This usage survives in MGr. The difference between οἰκία, the whole house, and οἶκος, an msula, or set of rooms, our ‘‘ flat,” is, as the editors point out, well seen in such a document as P Tebt I. 46 (B.c. 113), where a certain Menches complains that a raid had been made on his house—® ἐπὶ τὴν ὑπάρχουσάν μοι οἰκίαν, and that the raiders had burst open the lock of his mother’s apartment—*$ ἐκκρούσαντε[ς] TO χελώνιον Tod οἴκου τῆς μητρός pou: cf. 26. 3814. (B.c. 113), P Fay 311 (c. Α.Ὁ. 129). The traces of the distinction are not readily observable in the NT ; but note the appropriateness of the larger word in such passages as Mt 515, Lk 158, Jn 123, 2 Tim 229, Οἰκοδομέω is not used with οἶκον as object, except in Ac 7%; #9, and the temple is always οἶκος : see the significant contrast ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ πατρός μου, Jn 147. For οἰκία -‘‘household,” as in Jn 455 a/., cf. P Petr II. 23(4)? καταγράψας τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ Qpov, and for the phrase κατ᾽ οἰκίαν Part V. = , οἰκοδομέω with reference to the ὁ“ house to house ᾿᾿ census cf. P Tebt II. 291°* (A.D. 162) τῇ [πρ]ὸς τὸ 8 (ἔτος) κ[ατῇ οἰκίαν ἀπ[ο]γραφῇ, and Se/ections, p. 44f. In the curious contract of service for 99 years, into which a woman enters with another, we find the formula—évy τῇ σῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ τῇ τοῦ ἔργου σον (PSI V. 5494%—n.c. 42-1). With Mt 265 cf. P Oxy I. 5113 (A.b. 173) ἐν οἰκίᾳ ᾿ΕἸπαγαθοῦ.
