Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

πανδοχεῖον, a colloquial word (for form see Lob. Φάχγηι. p. 307) found in the comic writers (e.g. PSI I. 993—ii/a.p. : cf. Kennedy Sources, p. 74), occurs in Biblical Greek only in Lk 1034 = “‘inn.’’ For πανδοκ(ε)ία, ‘‘ the trade of an innkeeper,” cf. P Gen I. 5455 (iv/A.D.) ἔδωκαν δὲ ὑμῖν ἐν π[αἸνδοκίᾳ νομισμάτια δύο καὶ ἀργυρίου τάλ[αν]τα πεντήκοντα.
