οἰκία , -ας , ἡ
(<οἶκος ),
[in LXX chiefly (very freq.) for H1004;]
a house, dwelling: Matthew 2:11; Matthew 7:24-27, Mark 1:29, al.; ἐν οἰκίᾳ (= cl. κατ᾿ οἰκίαν ), at home, Luke 8:27; εἰς οἰ ., 2 John 1:10; οἰ , c. gen. pers., usually has the art. (Matthew 8:14, al., but cf. οἶκος and v. Bl., § 46, 9); ἡ οἰ . τ . πατρός μου , John 14:2.
Metaph.,
(a) of the body as the dwelling of the soul: 2 Corinthians 5:1;
(b) of property (as H1004, Genesis 45:18, LXX, τ . υπάρχοντα ; 1 Kings 13:8, LXX, οἶκος ) = οἶκος (q.v.): Mark 12:40, Luke 20:47;
(c) of the inmates of the dwelling, the household: Matthew 12:25; c. gen. pers., John 4:53, 1 Corinthians 16:15.
SYN.: οἶκος G3624, which in Attic law denoted the whole estate, οἰκία G3614, the dwelling only. In cl. poets οἶκος has also the latter sense, but not in prose, except in metaph. usage, where it signifies both property and household. The foregoing distinction is not, however, consistently maintained in late Greek; cf. MM, ii, xvii, and v. Thayer, s.v. οἰκία .

The itacistic form ὀρινός, which is read by WH in Luke 1:39; Luke 1:65 is amply attested in the papyri, where the word is regularly used to describe all canals on the border of the desert, e.g. P Strass I. 17.4 (A.D. 124) ἐν ὀρινῇ (sc. διώρυχι) Πατσώντ (εως) Βακχ (ιάδος), ";on the desert canal of Patsontis at Bacchias"; (see the editor’s Introd.). See also Aristeas 107, 118, and cf. s.v. ὄρος.
