τοίνυν, (τοι, νυν) therefore, accordingly, an inferential Particle (never in Hom. or Hes.), χρὴ τ. πύλας ὕμνων ἀναπιτνάμεν Pi. O. 6.27, etc.; εἰ τ... Hdt. 1.57; ἂν τ... D. 4.7; introducing a logical conclusion (less freq. than οὖν), Pl. Chrm. 159d; φανερὸν τ., δῆλον τ., Arist. Pol. 1260a2, PA 641a15; also to introduce a minor premiss, or a particular instance of a general proposition, Pl. Cra. 399b, Isoc. 4.103, etc.
2. in dialogue, to introduce an answer, well or well then, ἄπειμι τ. S. El. 1050, cf. Th. 5.89, etc.; esp. an answer which has been led up to by the same speaker, Pl.

Cyr. 2.4.8, Luke 20:25, etc. Position: in early writers τοίνυν is never the first word in a sentence, but this is not uncommon in later authors, as LXX Isaiah 3:10, Mim. Oxy. 413.225, Luc. l.c., Hebrews 13:13, Gal. 2.526, S.E. M. 8.429, AP 11.127 (Poll.), IG 4.620.13 (Argos), Chor. 32.34 F.-R. cod. ([ τῷ ] add.

Eq. 1259, Alex. l. c.; in anap., Ar. Nu. 429, 435, Av. 481.]
τοίνυν (from the enclitic τοι and νῦν), from Pindar (and Herodotus) down, therefore, then, accordingly; contrary to the use of the more elegant Greek writing, found at the beginning of the sentence (cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 342f; (Winers Grammar, 559 (519f); Buttmann, § 150, 19)): Hebrews 13:13 (Isaiah 3:10; Isaiah 5:13); as in the better writings, after the first word: Luke 20:25 (yet T Tr WH put it first here also); 1 Corinthians 9:26 and Rec. in James 2:24 (Wis. 1:11 Wis. 8:9; 4 Macc. 1:13, 15ff).

";adoption."; Deissmann (BS p. 239) has drawn attention to the frequency of the phrase καθ᾽ υἱοθεσίαν in the inscrr., which ";lets us understand that Paul [Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:5 al.] was availing himself of a generally intelligible figure when he utilised the term υἱοθεσία in the language of religion."; Exx. are Priene 37.2 (ii/B.C.) Εὐφανίσκος Καλλιξείνου, καθ᾽ ὑοθ ̣[ε ]σίαν δὲ Νικασιδάμου, Syll 269 (= .3 586).2 (B.C. 196) Ν ]ικαγόρας Παμφ [ίλιδα, κα ]θ᾽ ὑοθεσίαν δὲ [Νικαγόρα, ib. 555 (= .3 977)7 (end ii/B.C.) Τιμ [ό ]θεος Σωσικλεῦς, κατὰ δὲ ὑοθεσίαν Ἰσοπόλιος. See also Hicks CR i. p. 45 f., iii. P. 333, and for a literary ex. Diog. Laert. iv. 9. 53 νεανίσκων τινῶν υἱοθεσίας ποιεῖσθαι.
From the papyri we may cite P Oxy IX. 12068 (A.D. 335) ὁμολογοῦμεν ἡμῖς [μὲν ὅτ ]ε ̣ Ἡρακλῆς καὶ ἡ γ [υ ]νὴ Εἰσάριον ἐκδεδωκέναι σοὶ τῷ Ὡρίωνι τὸν ἐξ ̣ [ἡμ ]ω ̣̑ν υἱὸν Πατε ̣ρ ̣[μοῦθ ]ιν ὡς ἐτῶν δύο εἰς υἱοθεσίαν, ἐμὲ δὲ τὸν [Ὡρίων ]α ̣ ε ̣̀χ ̣ε ̣ι ̣ν ̣ [τ ̣ο ̣ῦτ ]ο ̣ν ̣ γνήσιον υἱὸν πρὸς τὸ μένειν αὐτῷ τὰ ἀπ [ὸ τ ]ῆς διαδοχῆς τῆς κληρονομίας μου δίκαια, ";we agree, Heracles and his wife Isarion on the one part, that we have given away to you, Horion, for adoption our son Patermouthis, aged about two years, and I Horion on the other part, that I have him as my own son so that the rights proceeding from succession to my inheritance shall be maintained for him"; (Ed.) : cf. .14, .16, .20, and the editor’s introduction. We may further cite P Lips I. 2812 (A.D. 381) ( = Archiv iii. p. 173 ff.) ὥσ ]τ ̣᾽ ἐμὲ τὸν [ἀ ]δελ [φ ]ὸν αὐτοῦ Σιλβανὸν. . . ἔχειν [πρὸς ?] υ ̣ι ̣̔οθεσίαν : cf. 14, 17, 22, 24, 27. This last papyrus shows also the verb υἱοθετέω, .22 τῶν ἐμῶν πραγμάτων κληρονόμον υἱοθετηθέντα μοι. For υἱοποιέομαι see Gnomon 41 (c. A.D. 150) ( = BGU V. p. 21).
