πατριά, πατριᾶς, ἡ (from πατήρ); 1. lineage running back to some progenitor, ancestry: Herodotus 2, 143; 3, 75. 2. a race or tribe, i. e. a group of families, all those who in a given people lay claim to a common origin: εἰσί ἀυτεων (Βαβυλωνίων) πατριαί τρεῖς, Herodotus 1, 200. The Israelites were distributed into (twelve) ξΗθΜεϊ, φυλαί, tribes, descended from the twelve sons of Jacob; these were divided into ξΔωΐΡτΘηεϊ, πατριαί, deriving their descent from the several sons of Jacob's sons; and these in turn were divided into δΘΰΘαεϊ αΕΜιϊ, οἶκοι, houses (or families); cf. Gesenius, Thesaurus, i., p. 193; iii., p. 1463; Winer's RWB under the word Stämme; (Keil, Archaeol. § 140); hence, ἐξ οἴκου καί πατριᾶς Δαυίδ, i. e. belonging not only to the same 'house' (πατριά) as David, but to the very 'family' of David, descended from David himself, Luk_2:4 (αὗται αἱ πατριαί τῶν υἱῶν Συμεών, Exo_6:15; ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτῆς Μανασσης τῆς φυλῆς αὐτῆς καί τῆς πατριᾶς αὐτῆς, Jdt_8:2; τῶν φυλῶν κατά πατριᾶς αὐτῶν, Num_1:16; οἶκοι πατριῶν, Exo_12:3; Num_1:2, and often; add, Josephus, Antiquities 6, 4, 1; 7, 14, 7; 11, 3, 10). 3. family in a wider sense, equivalent to nation, people: Act_3:25 (1Ch_16:28; Psalm 21:28 ()); πᾶσα πατριά ἐν οὐρανοῖς (i. e. every order of angels) καί ἐπί γῆς, Eph_3:15.

πατριά [page 498] πατριά in Eph_3:15 is used, as often in the LXX ( Gen_12:8 al. ), of a group of persons united by descent from a common father or ancestor : hence the Lat. rendering paternitas in the collective sense of that word. Herwerden s.v. refers to a Delphic inscr. of v/B.C. , where πατριαί are genera, sive familiae, quibus phratria constat. The adv. πατριαστί , according to paternal descent, occurs in P Hal I. 1 .248 (mid. iii/B.C.); cf. Syll 614 (= .3 1023) .32 ( c. B.C. 200) ἀπογραφέσθων . . . ἐν τριμήνωι τὸ ὄνομα πατριαστὶ ποτὶ τὸς ναποίας , where Herwerden ( Lex. s.v. ) understands πατριαστί rather in the sense of addito nomine gentili.
