UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
noun, f. | -εως | ἄρχω
1 ὕπαρξις and τὰ ὑπάρχοντα are similar in meaning to κτῆμα (57.15) but are probably more generic in reference and more formal in connotation. 2 ACT 2:45 It is possible that in ACT 2:45 τὰ κτήματα (see 57.15) refers to real estate (in accordance with later usage of κτῆμα) and that τὰς ὑπάρξεις refers to possessions in general, but the combination of the two expressions may simply be used for emphasis, thus specifying the extent of the possessions in question or the fact that all types of possessions were brought.
