For this NT ἅπ . εἰρ . ( Act_17:26 it is sufficient to cite P Tor I. 1 i. 23 (B.C. 116) οἱ ἐνκαλούμενοι τὴν κατοικίαν ἔχοντες ἐν τοῖς Μεμνονείοις , citati domicilium habentes in Memnoniis (Ed.), P Fay 12 .27 ( c. B.C. 103) δέομαι ἀποστεῖλαί μου τὴν ἔντευξιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀ̣ποτεταγμένους τῆι κατοικίᾳ χρηματιστάς , I entreat you to send my petition to the assize-judges appointed for the settlement (Edd.), P Ryl II. 165 .17 (A.D. 266) the sale of four arourae of catoecic land (γῆς κατοικικῆς ) τῷ τῆς κατοικίας δικαίῳ σχοινίῳ , measured by the just measure of the settlement (Edd.), and from the inscrr. Cagnat IV. 834 .4 (Hierapolis) εἰ δὲ ἔτι ἕτερος κηδεύσει , δώσει τῇ κατοικίᾳ τῶν ἐν Ἱεραπόλει κατοικούντων Ἰουδαίων προστείμου δηνάρια . . This last inscr. is discussed by Ramsay in Exp VI. v. p. 96 f., where it is shown that the technical term κατοικία points to a settlement of Jews in the city with definite rights and a legalized position, so that there was little distinction between them and the old population.
