Greek Preposition

σύν (old Att. ξύν), prep. with dative, expressing association, fellowship and inclusion. It gradually gave way to μετά, with genitive (cf. LS, see word; Bl, §41, 3), and is therefore comparatively infrequent in NT, being rare in Mat.4, Mrk.6, Jhn.3, and elsewhere (exx. Jas.1:11, 2Pe.1:18) only in Lk (Gosp. and Ac) and Paul. With, together with: of companionship and association, Luk.2:13, Jhn.21:3, Act.10:23, al; εἶναι σύν τινι, Luk.7:12, Act.4:13, Php.1:23, al; of partisanship, Act.4:13; οἱ σύν τινι, of attendants, companions or colleagues, Mrk.2:26, Luk.5:9, Act.5:17, al; of assistance, ἡ χάρις τ. θεοῦ σὺν ἐμοί, 1Co.15:10; of two or more things together, almost = καί, Luk.23:11, Act.3:4 10:2 14:5 23:25, Eph.3:18; σὺν Χριστῷ ζῆν, 2Co.13:4; besides (FlJ, LXX), σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις, Luk.24:21. In composition: with (συνχαίρω), together (συνωδίνω), altogether (συντελέω) (AS)

Greek Preposition

σύν [ῠ], old Attic dialect ξύν; Boeotian dialect σούν [Refs 3rd c.BC+]; A) σ. ἡρώων [Refs 2nd c.AD+]:—with. The form ξύν rarely occurs in [Refs 8th c.BC+]; in Ionic dialect verse we find ξύν [Refs 7th c.BC+]; in early Ionic dialect Prose (including Inscrr,[Refs 6th c.BC+] is only found in ξυνίημι [Refs 5th c.BC+]; in the late Ionic of [Refs 2nd c.AD+]; in Aeolic dialect and Doric dialect it is rare, ξυνοίκην [Refs 7th c.BC+]; elsewhere Doric dialect σύν, [Refs 6th c.BC+] and becomes usual towards the end; after [Refs 5th c.BC+]; otherwise, of Attic dialect Prose writers [Refs 5th c.BC+] a few times in compounds; codices [Refs 5th c.BC+]; in [Refs 5th c.BC+] is very frequently; in Trag. both forms occur. The preposition σύν gradually gave way to μετά with genitive, so that whereas [Refs 4th c.BC+] with genitive, the proportions in [Refs 5th c.BC+]: for these and other statistics see C. [Refs 1st c.AD+] T. Mommsen, Beiträge zur Lehre von den griechischen Präpositionen (Frankfurt 1886-95): in Attic dialect Prose and Comedy texts σύν is restricted for the most part to signification 8, 9 and a few phrases, such as σὺν θεῷ, σὺν (τοῖς) ὅπλοι; Xenophon uses it freely, having 556 examples to 275 of μετ; in Papyrus, [Refs] A.1) in company with, together with, δεῦρό ποτ᾽ ἤλυθε. σ. Μενελάῳ [NT+8th c.BC+] A.2) with collateral notion of help or aid, σ. θεῷ with God's help or blessing, as God wills, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; σ. θεῷ εἰρημένον spoken as by inspiration, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; so σ. δαίμονι, σ. Ἀθήνῃ καὶ Διί, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; also θεοῦ σ. παλάμᾳ, σ. θεοῦ τύχᾳ, [Refs 5th c.BC+] let him consult with you, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ξ. τῇ βουλῇ in consultation with the Council, [Refs]; σ. τινὶ μάχεσθαι fight at his side, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; σ. τινὶ εἶναι or γίγνεσθαι to be with another, i.e.on his side, of his party, [Refs]; οἱ σ. αὐτῷ his friends, followers, [NT] A.3) furnished with, endued with, σ. μεγάλῃ ἀρετῇ ἐκτήσω ἄκοιτιν [Refs 8th c.BC+] A.4) of things that belong, or are attached, to a person, σ. νηΐ or σ. νηυσί, i.e. on board ship, [Refs 8th c.BC+] (so in Prose, σ. ναυσὶ προσπλεῖν [Refs 8th c.BC+]; especially of arms, μιν κατέκηε σ. ἔντεσι [Refs]; ς. (or ξ.) ὅπλοις [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ς. (or ξ.) τοῖς ὅπλοις [Refs 5th c.BC+]; in some such cases ς. is little more than expletive, as σ. τεύχεσι θωρηχθέντες lines[Refs 8th c.BC+] A.5) of things accompanying, or of concurrent circumstances, ἄνεμος σ. λαίλαπι [Refs 8th c.BC+]; of coincidence in time, ἄκρᾳ σ. ἑσπέρᾳ [Refs 5th c.BC+]; καιρῷ σ. ἀτρεκεῖ[Refs 5th c.BC+]; in the course of, κείνῳ σ. ἄματι [Refs 5th c.BC+] A.6) of necessary connexion or consequence, σὺν μεγάλῳ ἀποτεῖσαι to pay with a great loss, i.e. suffer greatly, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; δημοσίῳ σ. κακῷ with loss to the public, [Refs 6th c.BC+]; σ. τῷ σῷ ἀγαθῷ to your advantage, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ὤλοντο. σὺν μιάς ματι with pollution, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; to denote agreement, in accordance with, σ. τῷ δικαίῳ καὶ καλῷ [Refs 5th c.BC+] A.7) of the instrument or means, with the help of, by means of, σ. ἐλαίῳ φαρμακώσαισα [Refs 5th c.BC+] A.8) including, κεφάλαιον σ. ἐπωνίοις [Refs 5th c.BC+]; δισχίλιαι γάρ εἰσι (i.e. δραχμαὶ) σ. ταῖς Νικίου [Refs 5th c.BC+] A.9) excluding, apart from, plus, ἓξ ἐμοὶ σ. ἑβδόμῳ six with (but not including) me the seventh, [Refs 4th c.BC+]together with, [Refs 3rd c.BC+]; οἱ γραμματεῖς σ. τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις [NT] B) POSITION:—σύν sometimes follows its case, [Refs 8th c.BC+]. It frequently stands between adjective and substantive, as [Refs 8th c.BC+]; more rarely between substantive and adjective, [Refs 8th c.BC+] B.2) frequently in tmesis in [Refs 8th c.BC+] B.3) in late Gr. σὺν καὶ with dative, στεφανηφορήσας σ. καὶ Αὐρ. Ἰάσονι [Refs 1st c.AD+] C) σύν AS adverb, together, at once, κενεὰς σ. Χεῖρας ἔχοντες [Refs 8th c.BC+]; mostly followed by δέ or τε, σ. δὲ πτερὰ πυκνὰ λίασθεν [Refs 8th c.BC+]. It is sometimes hard to distinguish this from tmesis, e.g. in [Refs 8th c.BC+]; so ξὺν κακῶς ποιεῖν is ={Ξυγκακοποιεῖν} in [Refs 5th c.BC+]. In Old Testament Gr. it is sometimes used to translate the Hebrew 'ēth (particle prefixed to the definite accusative) through confusion with the preposition 'ēth 'with', ἐμίσησα σὺν τὴν ζωήν [LXX]; οὐκ ἐμνήσθη σ. τοῦ ἀνδρός[LXX+2nd c.AD+] C.2) besides, also, σ. δὲ πλουτίζειν ἐμέ [Refs 5th c.BC+]; in later Poetry σ. καί [Refs 3rd c.BC+] (also in late Prose, [Refs 5th c.BC+] D) IN COMPOSITION (joined with other words), D.I) with, along with, together, at the same time, hence of any kind of union, connexion, or participation in a thing, and metaphorically of agreement or unity. In Compos. with a transitive Verb σύν may refer to the Object as well as the Subject, as συγκατακτείνειν may mean kill one person as well as another, or, join with another in killing. D.I.2) of the completion of an action, altogether, completely, as in συνάγνυμι, συνασκέω 2, συνθρύπτω, συγκόπτω, συμπατέω, συμπληρόω, συντελέω, συντέμν; sometimes, therefore, it seems only to strengthen the force of the simple word. D.I.3) joined with numerals, σύνδυο two together, which sense often becomes distributive, by twos, two and two; so σύντρεις, σύμπεντε, etc, like Latin bini, terni, etc. D.II) σύν in Compos, before β μ π φ ψ, becomes συμ; before γ κ ξ Χ, συγ; before λ συλ; before σ usually συσ; but becomes συ- before σ followed by a consonant (e.g. συστῆναι), before ζ, and perhaps sometimes before ξ.
