Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὁμιλέω. The classical and late Greek meaning of ὁμιλέω, ‘‘converse with,’’ which is found in Ac 2014, 2455, Dan 119, may ὡμείλησας δέ pol ποτε περὶ τούτου, ‘“‘you once had a conversation with me on this subject” (Edd.). Cf. also the Pelagia-Legenden p. 719 προτρεψάμενος αὐτὸν ὁμιλῆσαι τῷ λαῷ, and the use in MGr ᾽δὲν μοῦ ᾽μιλᾷς ; “why dost thou not speak to me?” (Abbott Songs, p. 108°). The verb is used in the wider sense of ‘‘ associate with” in PSI II. 12047 (a collection of apophthegms—iv/a.D.?) πένης dv πλουσίοις μὴ ὁμίλει (cf. Hobart, p. 178f.), and of ‘busy oneself with” in OG/S 282'® (before B.C. 206) θεωρῶ[ν δὲ] τὸν δῆμον . . . . ὁμιλοῦντα ἐμ Movo(at)[s Set]vas, 2. 5057 (A.D. 156) παιδείᾳ te ὁμιλῶν, ‘holding converse with τ᾿ (metaphorically). ‘H ὁμιλουμένη is used of vernacular Greek. The word is a reduced form of *opo-piréw by haplology. The original meaning is ‘assemble together ’’ : cf. Lat. mz/ztes, meaning ‘‘those who march in a body”’ (Boisacq, p. 700). MGr μιλῶ, ‘* speak.” « , ομιλία
