Lg. 892e (codd. Pl. have σφῶϊν in Tht. 193c, al., σφῶν Euthd. 273e, al.). None of these forms are enclit., A.D. Pron. 38.9, 85.12; cod. A of Pl. Lg. 658c, 673e, 689a wrongly makes σφῳν enclit.; Ζεὺς σφὼ is prescribed in Il. 15.146 by Hdn.Gr. 2.93 . — σφῶϊ is never dat.; in Il. 4.286 it is the acc. depending on κελεύω; σφῶϊν is never acc.; in Od. 23.52 it is dat. commodi.

III Plur. nom. ὑμεῖς, Il. 2.75, al.

Ach. 760, 761, 862; ὑμέν SIG 685.118 (Crete, ii B.C. ), GDI 5155.6 (ibid., ii B.C. ); Boeot. οὐμές Corinn. 6; a resolved form ὑμέες, Parth. Fr. 14, is a poeticlicence (so A.D. Pron. 93.3 ) rather than genuine Ionic ( v.l. in Hdt. 8.22 ). Gen. ὑμῶν, Ar. Ach. 143, etc.; ὑμέων (disyll.) Il. 7.159, Od. 13.7, al., Archil. 74.6 ( ὑμῶν codd.), Sol. 11.5 (v.l. ὑμῶν ) ; ὑμέων also Hdt. 3.73, 6.130, al.; as trisyll., Herod. 2.27; ὑμείων Il. 4.348, 7.195, al.; Dor. ὑμέων Sophr. 46; also ὑμῶν, A.D. Pron. 95.23; Aeol. ὑμμέων Alc. 96; Boeot. οὐμίων Corinn. 22 . Dat. ὑμῖν, Od. 2.46, Hdt. 1.126, etc.; Ion. enclit. ὗμῐν A.D. Pron. 97.28, also Dor., Sophr. 91; Dor.

Pron. 35.6, 36.5, Synt. 130.23 ); ὕμιν (as enclit.) is prescribed by Hdn.Gr. ( 2.124 ) in Il. 24.33, by EM 432.34 in Od. 1.376, 2.141, etc.: Aeol. and Ep. ὔμμῐ, ὔμμῐν, Od. 2.316, 11.336, al., Hes. Sc. 328, Sapph. 14, Alc. Supp. 26.9, Pi. O. 11(10).17 . Acc. ὑμᾶς, Ar. Ach. 325, etc. ( -υ Orph. A. 820, v.l. in S. Ph. 222; ὗμας or (more prob.) ὕμας is required by the metre in Babr. 9.9, 47.11 ); Ion. ὑμέας (disyll.) Od. 21.198, al.; enclit. ὕμεας (disyll.) Herod. 2.60 (Pap.); ὑμέας also Hdt. 1.126, al.; Aeol. and Ep. ὔμμε Il. 23.412, al., Pi. I. 6(5).19; also in A. Eu. 620 (trim.), and S. Ant. 846 (lyr.); Dor. ὑμέ Alcm. 3, Sophr. 52, Ar. Ach. 737, Lys. 1076, SIG 528.3 (Cretan dial., iii B.C. ), 622 B 8 (Cretan, ii B.C. ). The pl. is sts. used in addressing one person, when others are included in the speaker's thought, as Od. 12.81, Archil. 89 . (With σύ cf. Lat. tu, Goth. pu; with τοι Skt. gen. and dat. te; the origin of σφῶϊ is doubtful; with ὑμεῖς cf. Skt. acc. pl. yusmân. )

Thayer's Expanded Definition

σύ, pronoun of the second person (Doric and Aeolic, τύ, Boeotic, τοῦ), genitive σου, dative σοι, accusative σε; (which oblique cases are enclitic, unless a preposition precede; yet πρός σε is written (uniformly in Rec. (except Matthew 26:18), in Grab. (except John 21:22, 23), in Treg. (except Matthew 26:18; Acts 23:30), in Lachmann (except Matthew 26:18; John 17:11, 13; John 21:22, 23; Acts 23:30), in Tdf. (except Matthew 26:18; Luke 1:19; John 17:11, 13; John 21:22; Acts 23:18, 30; 1 Timothy 3:14; Titus 3:12); also by WH in Matthew 25:39), see ἐγώ, 2; Lipsius, Grammat. Untersuch., p. 62f, (Winers Grammar, § 6, 3; Buttmann, 31 (27))); plural ὑμεῖς, etc.; Latintu, etc.,vos, etc.; thou, etc., ye, etc. The nominatives σύ and ὑμεῖς are expressed for emphasis — before a vocative, as σύ Βηθλημ, Matthew 2:6; σύ παιδίον (Lucian, dial. deor. 2, 1), Luke 1:76; add, John 17:5; Acts 1:24; 1 Timothy 6:11, etc.; ὑμεῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, Luke 11:39; — or when the pronoun has a noun or a participle added to it in apposition in order to define it more sharply, as σύ Ἰουδαῖος ὤν (thou, being a Jew), John 4:9, cf. Galatians 2:14; ὑμεῖς πονηροί ὄντες, Matthew 7:11; — or when several are addressed who are at the same time particularized, σύ ... σύ, James 2:3; also in antithesis, Matthew 3:14; Matthew 6:17; Matthew 11:3: Mark 14:36; Luke 16:7; John 2:10; John 3:2; Acts 10:15; 1 Corinthians 3:23; James 2:18, and very often; sometimes the antithetic term is suppressed, but is easily understood from the context: εἰ σύ εἰ, if it be thou, and not an apparition, Matthew 14:28; add, Luke 15:31; Luke 17:8, etc.; — or when a particle is added, as σύ οὖν (at the close of an argument, when the discourse reverts to the person to be directly addressed), Luke 4:7; John 8:5; Acts 23:21; 2 Timothy 2:1, 3; σύ 2 Timothy 2:8; (in contrasts), Luke 9:60; 2 Timothy 3:10; Titus 2:1; Hebrews 1:11, etc.; ὑμεῖς δέ, Matthew 21:13; James 2:6; καί σύ, and thou, thou also, thou too, Matthew 11:23; Matthew 26:69, 73; Luke 10:15; Luke 19:19, 42; Luke 22:58; plural, Matthew 15:3, 16; Luke 17:10; before the 2nd person of the verb where the person is to be emphasized (like the German du, ihr eben, du da, 'it is thou,' 'thou art the very man,' etc.), σύ εἰ, Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:2; Luke 23:3; John 1:19; John 3:10; John 4:12; John 8:53; Acts 23:3, etc.; plural Luke 9:55 Rec.; σύ λέγεις, εἶπας, Matthew 26:25; Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:2; it is used also without special emphasis ((cf. Buttmann, § 129, 12, and) see ἐγώ, 1), Mark 14:68; John 8:13; Acts 7:28, etc. Tile genitives σου and ὑμῶν, joined to substantives, have the force of a possessive, and are placed — sometimes after the noun, as τόν πόδα σου, Matthew 4:6; τούς ἀδελφούς ὑμῶν, Matthew 5:47, and very often;—sometimes before the noun (see ἐγώ, 3 b.), as σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, Luke 7:48; σου τῆς νεότητός, 1 Timothy 4:12; ὑμῶν δέ καί τρίχες, Matthew 10:30; add, Mark 10:43 (here Rec. after); Luke 12:30; John 16:6; Romans 14:16; 2 Corinthians 1:24 (here now before, now after); — sometimes between the article and noun, as τήν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθησιν, 2 Corinthians 7:7; add, 2 Corinthians 8:14(13),14; ; Philippians 1:19, 25; Philippians 2:30; Colossians 1:8. ἔσται σου πάντα (πᾶσα), Luke 4:7 (cf. Buttmann, § 132, 11, I. a.). It is added to the pronoun αὐτός: σου αὐτῆς, Luke 2:35. On the phrase τί ἐμοί καί σοι, see ἐγώ, 4. ((From Homer on.))

thou, you, gen., σοῦ , dat., σοί , acc, σέ , pl., ὑμεῖς , -ῶν , -ῖν , -ᾶς (enclitic in oblique cases sing., except after prep. (B1., § 48, 3), though πρὸς σέ occurs in Matthew 25:39). Nom, for emphasis or contrast: John 1:30; John 1:42; John 4:10; John 5:38-39; John 5:44, Acts 4:7, Ephesians 5:32; so also perhaps σὺ εἶπας , Matthew 26:64, al. (M, Pr., 86); before voc., Matthew 2:6, Luke 1:76, John 17:5, al.; sometimes without emphasis (M, Pr., 85 f.), as also in cl., but esp. as rendering of Heb. phrase, e.g. υἱός μου εἶ σύ (H1121־ H859, Psalms 2:7), Acts 13:33 The gen. (σοῦ , ὑμῶν ) is sometimes placed bef. the noun: Luke 7:48; Luke 12:30, al.; so also the enclitic σου , Matthew 9:6; on τί ἐμοὶ κ . σοί , see ἐγώ .

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

We can cite no ex. of this rare verb from our sources, but reference should be made to Professor H. J. Cadbury’s careful study in JBL xlv. (1926), p. 310 ff., where he sets aside both the ordinary interpretations of the verb in Acts 1:4συναλίζω, ";eat with,"; and συναλίζομαι, ";gather"; (transitive or intransitive), and regards συναλιζόμενος as simply another spelling for συναυλιζόμενος, with the consequent meaning ";live with"; in the sense of spending the night together. Such an orthographic change of α for αυ is, as he shows, common in the Κοινή, and may be illustrated from such passages as BGU III. 713.42 (A.D. 41–42) Τιβερίου Κρατίου (= Κλαυδίου), ib. IV. 1079.25 (A.D. 41) (= Selections, p. 40) βλέπε σατὸν (= σεαυτὸν) ἀπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, and P Lond 1912.94 (letter of Claudius to the Alexandrines—A.D. 41) ἀπολάοντας : see also Moulton Proleg. p. 47 and Gr. ii. p. 87. This would seem, on the whole, to be the best solution of this crux interpretum, but reference may also be made to Field Notes, p. 110 f., where συναλίζεσθαι is taken in its ordinary sense of congregari or convenire, and stress is laid on the present part., ";‘as he was assembling with them,’ as he was on the way to meet them (some of them being in the same company with him) he gave them this charge.";
