συντυγχάνω, “meet with,” ‘‘fall in with’’ (Lk 819): cf. P Oxy VII. τοῦτ" (B.C. 22) ἔγραψα δὲ καὶ Δίωι τῷ τοῦ χιριστοῦ περὶ τούτου, ᾧ καὶ συντεύξηι, ‘I have written also to Dius, the son of the agent, about this: whom you will meet” (Ed.), 26, 1V. 743°? (B.C.2) οὐκ ἠδυνάσθην συντυχεῖν ᾿Απολλωί(νίῳ), 7. VII. 1070% (iii/A.p.) ἐὰν οἷν [συ]ντύχητε καὶ δόξῃ τι ὑμεῖν περὶ αὐτῶν, ‘if therefore you meet and come to any conclusion about tthem’’ (Ed.), and 76. VIII. 1163? (v/A.D.) τῇ τετράδι καταλαβὼν... συντυχὼν τῇ ἑξῆς TO δεσπότῃ μου, “1 arrived on the 413, and on the next day met my master.” Slightly different uses are seen in P Tebt I. 2314 (c.

For the subst. συντυχία, see P Flor 11. 154 verso (A.D. 268) χ]ρηστὴν συντυχίαν, P Oxy XVI. 1860° (vi/vii A.D.) εἰς μέσον συντηχείας (1. συντυχίας), ‘in the course of conversation” (Edd.), and OG/S 331” (mid. ii/B.c.)
