lit. ";compression"; (as in Aristeas 61), came to be used metaph. in Biblical Greek = ";straits,"; ";anxiety"; (Luke 21:25, 2 Corinthians 2:4) : cf. the magical P Lond 122.35 (iv/A.D.) (= I. p. 117) διάσωσόν μου. . ἀπὸ πάσης συνοχῆς, Kaibel 1040.23 σ [υν ]οχή τι [ς ἔσται σοι κακῶν τε καὶ καλῶν ], and Vett. Val. p. 2.8 κρυβάς, συνοχάς, δεσμά, πένθη, et saepe. An early ex. of the noun is afforded by P Lond 354.24 (c. B.C. 10) (= II. p. 165) where the reference is apparently to ";imprisonment."; This may also be the meaning in Didache i. 5 ἐν συνοχῇ δὲ γενόμενος ἐξετασθήσεται περὶ ὧν ἔπραξε. See further Deissmann LAE2 p. 95 n..2, and Boll Offenbarung p. 135.
