Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
συνοικέω, “‘live together’’ of man and wife, as in its only NT occurrence, I Pet 37: PSI I. 644 (i/B.c.?) συνοικ[ἡσουσά σοι ὧ]ς γνησ[ία] γαμετή, P Oxy II. 237% 33 (a.p. 186) εἰ συνοικεῖν ἀλλήλοις θέλοιεν, ““1( they wished to live together,” and 7d. XII. τ54815 (a.D. 202--3) ἡ - . θυγά{τηρ) pov συνοικοῦσα τῷ ἀνδίρὶ) ᾿Απολλωνίῳ. Cf. the similar use of συνοικισία in P Eleph 12 (B.C. 311-10), and of συνοικίσιον in P Oxy II. 266! (a.p. 96) κα[τὰ συ]νγραφὴν συνοικισίου, ‘in accordance with a contract of marriage,” αἱ. The verb is used more generally in P Amh II. 141° (A.D. 350) γνήσ]ιός pou ἀδελφ[ὸς . . Ἰσσος συνοικ[εῖ por, “*my full brother . . ssus lives with me,” and Chrest. 11. 96% 10 (after A.D. 350) ὃ παῖς kal cuv[o]ik(et> τῇ ἀδελφῇ. CE. also συνοικίζω in Sy/7/3 709! (c. B.C. 107) πόλιν ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου συνοικίξας. A new verb συνοικιάζω occurs in P Lond V. 1735" (late vi/a.D.), apparently in the sense of enlarging the house by adding new buildings to it (see the editor’s note). For the subst. συνοικία cf. P Petr III. 65(4)® (iii/B.c.), the report of a searcher for stolen goods ἐν τῆι Ἡρακλείτου συνοικίαι: in 20. 737 (iii/B.c.) the word is = ‘‘lodging-house.” Cf. also BGU VII. 157325 (a.v. I4I-2) (τέταρτον) μέρος συνοικίας, and the dim. συνοικίδιον in 26.32,
