The word is not found in the Apocalypse. [SYNONYMS: οἶκος, οἰκία: in Attic (and especially legal) usage, οἶκος denotes one's household establishment, one's entire property, οἰκία, the dwelling itself; and in prose οἶκος is not used in the sense of οἰκία. In the sense of family οἶκος and οἰκία are alike employed; Schmidt vol. ii., chapter 80. In relation to distinctions (real or supposed) between οἶκος and οἰκία the following passages are of interest (cf. Valckenaer on Herodotus 7, 224): Xenophon, oecon. 1, 5 οἶκος δέ δή τί δοκεῖ ἡμῖν κειναι; ἄρα ὅπερ οἰκία, ἤ καί ὅσα τίς ἔξω τῆς οἰκίας κέκτηται, πάντα τοῦ οἴκου ταῦτα ἐστιν ... πάντα τοῦ ὀκου εἶναι ὅσα τίς κέκτηται. Aristotle, polit. 1, 2, p. 1252{b} , 9ff, ἐκ μέν οὖν τούτων τῶν δύο κοινωνιων (viz. of a man with wife and servant) οἰκία πρώτη, καί ὀρθῶς ἡσιοδος εἶπε ποιήσας "οἶκον μέν prootista] γυναῖκα τέ βοῦν τ' ἀροτηρα." ... ἡ μέν οὖν εἰς πᾶσαν ἡμέραν συνεστηκυια κοινωνία κατά φύσιν οἶκος ἐστιν. ibid. 3, p. 1253{b} , 2ff, πᾶσα πόλις ἐκ οἰκιῶν σύγκειται. οἰκίας δέ μέρη, ἐκ ὧν αὖθις οἰκία συνισταται. οἰκία δέ τέλειος ἐκ δούλων καί ἐλευθέρων ... πρῶτα δέ καί ἐλάχιστα μέρη οἰκίας δεσπότης καί δοῦλος καί πόσις καί ἄλοχος. πατήρ καί τέκνα, etc. Plutarch, de audiend. poetis § 6 καί γάρ οἶκον πότε μέν τήν οἰκίαν καλοῦσιν, "οἶκον ἐς ὑψοροφον." πότε δέ τήν οὐσίαν, "ἐσθίεται μοι οἶκος." (see οἰκία, c.) Hesychius' Lexicon, under the words οἰκία, οἶκοι, under the word οἶκος. ὀλίγη οἰκία ... καί μέρος τί τῆς οἰκίας ... καί τά ἐν τῇ οἰκία. In the N. T., although the words appear at times to be used with some discrimination (e. g. Luk_10:5-7; Act_16:31-32; Act_16:34; cf. Joh_14:2), yet other passages seem to show that no distinction can be insisted upon: e. g. Mat_9:23; Mar_5:38; Luk_7:36-37; Act_10:17,(); ; (1Co_1:16; 1Co_16:15).]

οἶκος [page 443] As illustrating the NT conception of the οἶκος πνευματικός and the οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ Thieme (p. 31) refers not only to the place which the house of God had in Jewish religion, but also to the holy houses of Greek antiquity, as preparing the way for the Christian usage ( 1Ti_3:15 , 1Pe_4:17 ) : see e.g. Magn 94 .3 (ii/B.C.), where a certain Εὔφημος Παυσανίου νεωκόρος is praised for his liberality εἰς τ ]ὸ [ν οἶκ ]ον τ [ὸν ἱερόν , ib. 117 .7 (1st half ii/A.D.) τῷ ἱερῷ οἴκῳ τῶν ἐν Κλίδωνι , and Syll 571 (= .3 987) .3, .25 (iv/B.C.), where mention is made of an οἶκος τεμένιος ἱερός in Chios. In Herodas i. 26 οἶκος τῆς θεοῦ refers to Aphrodite. From the fact that a tomb was often dedicated to a local deity, and hence became his temple or home, it is natural that οἶκος should be used in inscrr. in the sense of tomb, as at Cibyra BCH ii. (1878), p. 610 f., and Magnesia ib. xviii. (1894) p. 11 (cited in C. and B. i. p. 100 n. .1 ) : also Kaibel 321 .9 (after A.D. 171) καμάτου οἶκον . For οἶκος used in an astrological sense see P Lond 98 recto .1, al. (i/ii A.D.) (= I. p. 127 ff.). The subst. in its ordinary application to an inhabited house is found in such passages as P Oxy II. 294 .10 (A.D. 22) (= Selections , p. 35) ὁ ἐμ [ὸς ] οἶκος ἠραύνητ [αι , my house has been searched, P Ryl II. 127 .9 (A.D. 29) ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας οὗ καταγείνομαι οἴκου ἐν τῷ ἐποικίωι , at the door of the house which I inhabit in the farmstead (Edd.), and the magical incantation P Oxy VIII. 1152 .5 (v/vi A.D.) βοήθι ἡμῖν καὶ τούτῳ οἴκῳ (for τούτῳ without article cf. Act_24:21 ). See also the prepositional phrases ἐν οἴκῳ , at home ( 1Co_11:34 ), P Lond 42 .5 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30) οἱ ἐν οἴκωι πάντες , P Fay 115 .12 (A.D. 101) : ἐξ οἴκου , out of the house, P Ryl II. 173 ( a ) .11 (A.D. 99) : and ib. 76 .10, .12 (late ii/A.D.) where κατ᾽ οἶκον , according to households, is contrasted with κατὰ πρόσωπον , according to individuals. For a wide sense in which οἶκος is apparently equivalent to πόλις , see the note on P Oxy I. 126 .4 . For οἴκοθεν = suis impensis, cf. Syll 737 (= .3 1109) .151 (before A.D. 178) παρεχέτω δὲ οἴκοθεν τὸ θερμόλυχνον . See further s.v. οἰκία .
