epioikion
hi! I was curious what you've been editing lately. Do you know what epioikion means? Oikion seems to mean 'dwelling' (Strong's entry), there's one place in Phrygia called this way and it shows up in a 3rd c. inscription, and there it is interpreted to mean farmstead (see here, The Christians of Phrygia from Rome to the Turkish Conquest, ISBN 9004546375: "Menandros son of Karikos came from Epioikion, a name that suggests the large farmstead or estate which he owned." There's a picture of the inscription and a German discussion here on pp. 262-263.) That is less than a straightforward translation of epioikion, just an interpretation, so good enough for me, but not useful for the article (see OR 'original research'). The Greek word remains unexplained in the article. Maybe you have a dictionary you can quote?

I hope you don't mind :) Take care, Arminden (talk) 17:56, 25 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey @Arminden! Great to see we're into similar stuff! Don't have a Greek dictionary on me right now, but I'll definitely add an explanation next time I come across something. Cheers! Mariamnei (talk) 09:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
