";live together"; of man and wife, as in its only NT occurrence, 1 Peter 3:7 : PSI I. 64.4 (i/B.C. ?) συνοικ [ήσουσά σοι ὡ ]ς γνησ ̣[ία ] γαμετή, P Oxy II. 237vii. 23 (A.D. 186) εἰ συνοικεῖν ἀλλήλοις θέλοιεν, ";if they wished to live together,"; and ib. XII. 1548.15 (A.D. 202–3) ἡ. . θυγά (τηρ) μου συνοικοῦσα τῷ ἀνδ (ρὶ) Ἀπολλωνίῳ. Cf. the similar use of συνοικισία in P Eleph 1.2 (B.C. 311–10), and of συνοικίσιον in P Oxy II. 266.11 (A.D. 96) κα [τὰ συ ]νγραφὴν συνοικισίου, ";in accordance with a contract of marriage,"; al.
The verb is used more generally in P Amh II. 141.5 (A.D. 350) γνήσ ]ιός μου ἀδελφ [ὸς. . ]σσος συνοικ [εῖ μοι, ";my full brother . . ssus lives with me,"; and Chrest. II. 96ii. 10 (after A.D. 350) ὁ παῖς καὶ συν [ο ]ικ <εῖ > τῇ ἀδελ [φῇ. Cf. also συνοικίζω in Syll.3 709.10 (c. B.C. 107) πόλιν ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου συνοικίξας. A new verb συνοικιάζω occurs in P Lond V. 1735.11 (late vi/A.D.), apparently in the sense of enlarging the house by adding new buildings to it (see the editor’s note). For the subst. συνοικία cf. P Petr III. 65 (b).9 (iii/B.C.), the report of a searcher for stolen goods ἐν τῆι Ἡρακλείτου συνοικίαι : in ib. 73.7 (iii/B.C.) the word is = ";lodging-house."; Cf. also BGU VII. 1573.25 (A.D. 141–2) (τέταρτον) μέρος συνοικίας, and the dim. συνοικίδιον in ib..12.
