UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

verb | ἁλίζω

23.13 · Physiological Processes and States · Eat, Drink

to eat with eating together, with emphasis upon fellowship during the process συναλίζομαι in ACT 1:4 is interpreted by some as being συναλίζομαι[b] to stay with (41.37) on the assumption that the occurrence in ACT 1:4 is simply an alternative spelling for συναυλίζομαι to stay with. This latter reading is supported by some manuscripts.

ACT 1:4

41.37 · Behavior and Related States · Particular Patterns of Behavior

to live with, to be in fellowship with to live in fellowship with others (a meaning of συναλίζομαι in view of its being regarded as a variant of συναυλίζομαι ‘to be with, to stay with,’ not occurring in the NT) συναλίζομαι in the sense of ‘to be together in fellowship’ fits well in the context of ACT 1:4, but this meaning would seem to be somewhat alien to general Greek usage, and therefore συναλίζομαι is more frequently understood in the context of ACT 1:4 as meaning ‘to be eating with’ (see 23.13).

Thayer's Greek Lexicon

συν-αλίζω: (σύν, and ἁλίζω fr. ἁλής, crowded, in a mass; {ef. ὄλυσις, init.]); fo gather together, assemble; pass. pres. ptep. συναλιζόμενος ; to be assembled, meet with: τινί, with one Acts i. 4, where αὐτοῖς is to be supplied. (IIdt., Xen., [ Plut. de placit. phil. 902], Joseph., Leian., Jambl.) [But Meyer defends the rendering given by some of the ancient versions (cf. Tdf.’s note ad loc.) eating with (deriving the word from σύναλος), so A. V. and R. V. mrg.; such passages as Manetho 5, 339; Clem. hom. 13, 4 (although Dressel after cod. Ottob. reads here cuvavA.— yet the recogn. 7, 29 renders cibum sumimus) ; Chrysost. iii. 88 c. (ed. Migne iii. i. 104 mid.); 89 a. (ibid. bottom) ; 91 ἃ. (ibid. 107 mid.), seem to give warrant for this interpretation; cf. Valckenaer, Opusce. ii. p. 277 sq. But see at length Woolsey in the Bib. Sacr. for Oct. 1882, pp: 605-618.]
