Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Interesting examples of the word occur in invitations to dinner or to a wedding-feast, e.g. P Oxy I. 110 (ii/A.D.) ἐρωτᾷ , σε Χαιρήμων δειπνῆσαι εἰς κλείνην τοῦ κυρίου Σαράπιδος ἐν τῷ Σαραπείῳ αὔριον , ἥτις ἐστὶν ι ̄ε ̄, ἀπὸ ὥρας θ ̄, ";Chaeremon requests your company at dinner at the table of the lord Sarapis in the Serapeum tomorrow, the 15th, at 9 o’clock"; : similarly ib. 111 (iii/A.D.), III. 523 (ii/A.D.), VI. 926 (iii/A.D.), P Fay 132 (iii/A.D.). The hour, which corresponds to our 3 p.m., illustrates the elasticity of a term which will answer to our ";lunch"; or ";supper"; on occasion : it relieves some of the difficulty in Luke 14:16 ff., where an ἄριστον seems demanded by the details. In P Oxy VI. 927 (iii/A.D.) we have the same formula and the same hour, but εἰς γάμους stands in the place of δειπνῆσαι . It is curious to find our phrase ";to dine out"; paralleled—BGU IV. 1141.36 (c. B.C. 14)] οὐδὲ ε ̣͗ξω δεδειπνηκέναι . Ξιύστον δὲ ἐπιγνοὺς δεδειπνηκέναι ἔσω ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ παρὰ Ἔρωτα δὶς προσελαβόμην αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον παρ᾽ ἐμέ : it is not clear that the parallel is more than verbal. MGr δειπνῶ = ";lunch,"; ";dine.";
