Liddell-Scott-Jones Definitions

πατρι-ά,

Ion. πατρι-ιή, ἡ, (πατήρ)

lineage, descent, esp. by the father's side, ἐγεν[]ηλόγησε τὴν π. τὴν Κύρου Hdt. 3.75, cf. 2.143, Luke 2:4.

II = πάτρα 11.2, clan, Hdt. 1.200, Michel 195.1 (Elis, V B.C.), 995 A 26 (Delph., V B.C.).

2. family, LXX Exodus 12:3, al., Ephesians 3:15.

III in pl., = patrum officia, Cod.Just. 1.5.14.

Thayer's Expanded Definition

πατριά, πατριᾶς, ἡ (from πατήρ);

1. lineage running back to some progenitor, ancestry: Herodotus 2, 143; 3, 75.

2. a race or tribe, i. e. a group of families, all those who in a given people lay claim to a common origin: εἰσί ἀυτεων (Βαβυλωνίων) πατριαί τρεῖς, Herodotus 1, 200. The Israelites were distributed into (twelve) מַטּות, φυλαί, tribes, descended from the twelve sons of Jacob; these were divided into מִשְׁפָחות, πατριαί, deriving their descent from the several sons of Jacob's sons; and these in turn were divided into הָאָבות בֵּית, οἶκοι, houses (or families); cf. Gesenius, Thesaurus, i., p. 193; iii., p. 1463; Winer's RWB under the word Stämme; (Keil, Archaeol. § 140); hence, ἐξ οἴκου καί πατριᾶς Δαυίδ, i. e. belonging not only to the same 'house' (πατριά) as David, but to the very 'family' of David, descended from David himself, Luke 2:4 (αὗται αἱ πατριαί τῶν υἱῶν Συμεών, Exodus 6:15; ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτῆς Μανασσης τῆς φυλῆς αὐτῆς καί τῆς πατριᾶς αὐτῆς, Judith 8:2; τῶν φυλῶν κατά πατριᾶς αὐτῶν, Numbers 1:16; οἶκοι πατριῶν, Exodus 12:3; Numbers 1:2, and often; add, Josephus, Antiquities 6, 4, 1; 7, 14, 7; 11, 3, 10).

3. family in a wider sense, equivalent to nation, people: Acts 3:25 (1 Chronicles 16:28; Psalm 21:28 ()); πᾶσα πατριά ἐν οὐρανοῖς (i. e. every order of angels) καί ἐπί γῆς, Ephesians 3:15.

Abbott-Smith Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

πατριά , -ᾶς , ἡ

(< πατήρ ),

[in LXX chiefly for H1, Exodus 6:14, al., also for H4940, Exodus 6:15, 2 Kings 14:7, Psalms 22:27, al.;]

1. lineage, ancestry (Hdt.).

2. = πάτρα (more common in cl.), a family or tribe (so sometimes in Hdt., in LXX of related people, in a sense narrower than φυλή and wider than οἶκος ; v. Exodus 12:3, Numbers 32:28): Luke 2:4; in a wider sense (1 Chronicles 16:28, Psalms 22:27), Acts 3:25 (LXX) Ephesians 3:15.†
