Historical & Contextual Notes
Attested rarely in extant Greek literature, πανοικί appears in Hellenistic and Koine Greek, notably in the Septuagint and New Testament (e.g., Acts 16:34), where it conveys the involvement of all household members in significant events (such as rejoicing, believing, or being baptized). The term reflects ancient Mediterranean social structures in which the 'house' (οἶκος) comprised not just immediate kin but extended family, slaves, and dependents. Standard English translations (e.g., 'with all his house') capture the sense but may not always reflect the full social range of the ancient οἶκος. It is adverbial in syntax; compare adjectives like οἰκιακός for 'domestic' or substantive phrases for 'household.'
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
