σύν [the older form ξύν is still found in some edd. in composition (as ξυμ-βαίνω, 1 Pet. iv. 12 Rec***; see L. and S. 5. v. init.; cf. 3, o,s)], a preposition; it is never used in the Apocalypse, rarely by Matthew [some four times (texts vary) ], Mark [some five times, or John (three times) ], (who prefer μετά), more frequently by Luke ΄, συν [(Gospel and Acts) about 79 times] and Paul [about 39 times ; on the comparative frequency of these prepp. in the classics, see L. and S.s. v. ad init.]. It takes the Dative after it, and denotes accompaniment and fellowship, whether of action, or of belief, or of condition and experience; (acc. to the grammarians [ef. Donaldson, New Crat.§181; Kriiger §68, 13,1; Kihner ii. p.438]; W. 391 (366), a fellowship far closer and more intimate than that expressed by perd, although in the N. T. this distinction is much oftener neglected than observed). Latin cum, Eng. with. I. 1.

W. 391 (366) ]; but since the N.T. writers are wont to designate the powers and virtues with which one is equipped by the preposition ἐν, it is more correct to connect σὺν τῇ δυν. with συναχθέντων, so that ἡ δύναμις τ. κυρίου is personified and represented as the third subject in the gathering; cf. Mt. xviii. 20 [see δύναμις, a. sub fin.]). 5. σὺν Χριστῷ ζῆν, to live with Christ, i.e. united (in spiritual bonds) to him, and to lead a strong life by virtue of this union, 2 Co. xiii. 4; σὺν (Rec.) χειρὶ ἀγγέλου (see χείρ), Acts vii. 35 LT Tr WH. 6.

II. In composition σύν denotes 1. association, community, fellowship, participation: συνοικέω, σύνειμι, συγγενής, σύμμορφος, συζῆν, συμπάσχειν, συγχρᾶσθαι, etc. 2. together, i. e. several persons or things united or all in one; as, συγκεράννυμι, συγκλείω, συγκαλέω, συλλέγω, συγκομίζω, ete. 3. completely: συγκύπτω, συγκαλύπτω, etc. 4. with one’s self, i. 6. in one’s mind: συλλυπέομαι [but see the word], σύνοιδα, συνείδησις, συντηρέω; cf.

As to its Form, σύν in composition before 8, p,m, d, Ψ, passes into cup-, before ἃ into συλ-, before y, x, x into avy-; before ¢ [and σ foll. by a consonant] it is elided, hence συζῆν, συζητέω, συσταυρόω, συστέλλω. But in the older manuscripts assimilation and elision are often neelected (cf. ἐν, III. fin.).

σύν (old Att. ξύν), prep. c. dat., expressing association, fellowship and inclusion. It gradually gave way to μετά, c. gen. (cf. LS, s.v.; Bl., § 41, 3), and is therefore comparatively infrequent in NT, being rare in Mt4, Mk6, Jo3, and elsewhere (exx. Ja 1:11, II Pe 1:18) only in Lk (Gosp. and Ac) and Paul. With, together with: of companionship and association, Lk 2:13, Jo 21:3, Ac 10:23, al.; εἶναι σύν τινι, Lk 7:12, Ac 4:13, Phl 1:23, al.; of partisanship, Ac 4:13; οἱ σύν τινι (ὄντες), of attendants, companions or colleagues, Mk 2:26, Lk 5:9, Ac 5:17, al.; of assistance, ἡ χάρις τ. θεοῦ σὺν ἐμοί, I Co 15:10; of two or more things together, almost = καί, Lk 23:11, Ac 3:4 10:2 14:5 23:15, Eph 3:18; σὺν Χριστῷ ζῆν, II Co 13:4; besides (FlJ, LXX), σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις, Lk 24:21.

In composition: with (συνχαίρω), together (συνωδίνω), altogether (συντελέω).

συν. This ‘‘aristocrat” among the prepositions as compared with ἐν the ‘‘ maid of all work” is comparatively rare in the NT, having given place, as it did in Attic Greek, to μετά c. gen. (cf. Blass Gr. p. 132). (1) For its general meaning “‘with,” either ‘‘ along with” or ‘‘in addition to,’’we may note—P Tebt I. 438 (B.C. 118) παρεγενήθημεν els ἀπάντησιν σὺν τῶι τῆς κώμης κωμάρχωι [καί] τινων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῶν [γ]εωργῶν, “να came to meet him together with the -komarch of the village and some of the elders of the cultivators’ (Edd.), i. 13} (B.C. 114) ἐφοδεύοντός μου σὺν “Qpwr κω(μάρχηι) καὶ ΠΠατάνι. . . [[τὰ ἐν περὶ τὴν κώμην χωματικὰ ἔργα, “as I was inspecting, in company with Horus the komarch and Patanis, the embankment works near the village ’’ (Edd.), 25, 207 (B.c. 113) memépp(a>pelv] ᾿Αράχθην σὺν Tots κωμογραμματεῦσι ἐσόμενον μέχρι TOU με παραγενέσθαι, “T, have sent Arachthes to be with the komogrammateis until I come” (Edd.), BGU II. 3939 (a.p. 168) ἐνοικίου τοῦ παντὸς Kat’ ἔτος σὺν παντὶ λόγῳ (sma summarunt) ἀργυρίου δραχμῶν εἴκοσι τεσσάρων, P Flor I. οτ᾽8 (ii/a.p.) ὅϊπως δυνηθῶ ἐν τῇ ἰ]δίᾳ συμμέγων σὺν γυναικὶ καὶ τέκνοις, “in order that I may be able to remain in my own house along with my wife and children,’’ P Lond 3435 (a.p. 188) (=II. p. 214) ὀφίλις μοι σὺν ἑτέροις ἐπὶ λόγου δραχμὰς διακοσίᾳς, PSI III. 2087 (iv/a.p.) τοὺς σύν σοι πάντας ἀδελφούς, and the address of the Christian letter P Oxy XIV. 1774" (early iv/A.D.) κυρείᾳ pov ἀδελφῇ ᾿Ατιενατείῃ Διδύμη σὺν ταῖς a[SeAdais. (2) The preposition is also further applied to those engaged in the same work or office—P Oxy II. 24233 (a.p. 77) ᾿Αρθοῶνις ᾿“Αρθοώ(νιος) Kal οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ ἱερεῖ(ς), BGU IV. 102819 (ii/A.D.)

I. p. 112) παρὰ Πεκύσιος Σαταβοῦτος ἱερέως σὺν ἑτέροις ἱερεῦ[ σι. ἱεροῦ θεοῦ μεγίστου, and P Oxy I. o1® (A.D. 187) ὁμολογῶ ἀπεσχηκέναι παρὰ cod διὰ “Ἡλιοδώρου καὶ τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ ἐπιτηρητῶν. (3) For the thought of the assistance or the will of God, deo volente, we may cite the recurring σὺν θεῷ or σὺν Oeots—P Tebt I. 58 vecto85 (B.c. 111) (= Chrest. I. p3551) ὥστ᾽ ἂν σὺν τοῖς θεοῖς καταστοχήισαμεν αὐτοῦ, “*so by the grace of the gods we shall win him over(?)”, and 7b. verso?’ σὺν τοῖς θεοῖς σχεδὸν ἔσται ὁ διάλογος ἕως τῆς ἃ τοῦ ΙΙαχών, ‘‘ by the grace of the gods the audit will take place about Pachon 30” (Edd.), P Gen I. 4615 4d , συνάγω (A.D. 345) σ]ὺν θεῷ ὡς ἂν δυνηθ[ῶ] σίοι] .. [ἐγγύας ἀποκαταστήσω, and P Amh II. 1508 (a.b. 592) ἐκ νέων κ[αρπῶ]ν τῆς σὺν θεῷ δωδεκάτης ἐπινεμήσεως, ‘from the new crop of the, D.V., coming twelfth indiction ᾿᾿ (Edd.). For a Christian ex. of the phrase see the well-known letter of Psenosiris, P Grenf II. 7315 (late iii/a.p.) (= Se/ectzons, p. 118) ὅταν ἔλθῃ σὺν Θεῷ, ‘ when he arrives by the help of God.” For the rival theory that this letter refers not to the banishment of a Christian woman during the great persecution, but to the transport of a mummy for burial, see Cronert, Raccolta Lumbroso, p. 515 ff. The preposition occasionally passes into what is almost an instrumental sense, as in P Par 12}7 (B.c. 157) σὺν τοῖς θεοῖς καὶ TH σῇ τύχῃ EK θανάτου σέσωμαι. See also P Tebt I. 20° (B.c. 113) χαριεῖ σὺν σοὶ αὐτὸν εἰσαγαγών, ‘you will do me a favour by personally introducing him” (Edd.) (cf. 1 Cor 151°). (4) Σύν = ‘in fellowship with,” as a technical term in magic ritual, appears in such passages as P Par 5747999 (c. A.D. 300) λαμβάνω σε σὺν ἀγαθῆ Τύχη καὶ ayabd Δαίμονι, and the cursing leaden tablet of iii/B.c. C/A Append. (= 76 111. iii.) 108 δήσω ἐγὼ κείνην... σύν θ᾽ “Ἑκάτ(η)ι χθονίαι καὶ “Epwtow—both cited by Deissmann LAE*, pp. 255, 303+ For the NT formula σὺν Χριστῷ we must again refer to Deissmann, who in his monograph 2226 neutestamentliche Formel ‘“‘in Christo Jesu’’ (Marburg, 1892) has shown that σὺν Χριστῷ ‘‘nearly always means the fellowship of the faithful with Christ after their death or after His coming.” In this connexion he adduces elsewhere (see LAE* p. 303 n.*) a striking parallel to Phil 12% in a graffito from Alexandria, probably of the Imperial period, where a deceased person is addressed in the words εὔχομαι κἀγὼ ἐν τάχυ σὺν σοὶ εἶναι, “1 would that I were soon in fellowship with thee.” (5) For σύν c. gen. cf. Osty 2405 (A.D. 159) σὺν Μηνοφίλου, and P Lond 113. 415 (a.D. 595) (=I. p. 209) σὺν μισθοῦ ὅλου. (6) For the pleonastic καί after μετά in Phil 45 (cf. Deissmann 3.5. p. 265 f.) we can now compare σὺν καί in PAS iii. 612 (Phrygia—Imperial) σὺν καὶ τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς (cited by Hatch, /BZ xxvii. (1908), p. 143).
