Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The use of the θέατρον as a place for public assemblies, as in Acts 19:29, can be readily illustrated from the insert., e.g. Brit. Mus. Inscrr. III. 481.395 (A.D. 104) φερέτωσαν. . . κατὰ πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν εἰς τὸ θέατρον (at Ephesus), Syll 314.46 ἐκκλησία συνήχθη κυρία ἐν [τῶι θεά ]τρωι (see Preuschen HZNT ad loc.). See also the ";neat confirmation"; of Acts 19:32; Acts 19:41 in the inscr. cited from Deissmann LAE, p. 114 s.v. ἐκκλησία. Miscellaneous exx. of the word from the papyri are P Flor I. 61.29 (A.D. 85) (as amended Chrest, II. p. 89) ἄνθρωπον στα [τέον ] εἰς τὰ θέατρ [α, P Oxy III. 471.106 (ii/A.D.) καὶ τὸν οὐκ ἐν λευκαῖς ἐσθῆσιν [ ]ν θεάτρῳ καθίσα ̣[ντα ] παρέδωκας εἰς θ ̣[ ]ν ̣[ατον, ";and the man who took his seat at the theatre without wearing white garments you delivered to death"; (Edd.), ib. VI. 937.11 (iii/A.D.) παραγγέλλω σοι. . . ἵνα παραβάλῃς πρὸς τῇ πλατείᾳ τοῦ θεάτρου, ";I bid you go to the street of the theatre,"; ib. VII. 1050.16 (ii/iii A.D.) φύλ (αξι) θεάτ ̣[ρου. The adj. occurs in an inscr. from the theatre at Ephesus, OGIS 510.7 (A.D. 138–61) τὴν λοιπὴν παρασκευὴν τῶν θεατρικῶν. MGr θέατρο (ν).
