κλίνη , -ης , ἡ ( < κλίνω ), [in LXX chiefly for H4296 ;] a bed, couch: Mat_9:2 ; Mat_9:6 , Mar_4:21 ; Mar_7:4 ; Mar_7:30 , Luk_5:18 ; Luk_8:16 ; Luk_17:34 , Rev_2:22 ( cf. MM , Exp., xv).† * κλινάριον , -ου , τό , dimin, of κλίνη , a couch: Act_5:15 ( cf. κλινίδιον ).†

κλίνη / κλινάριον [page 348] κλίνη An interesting parallel to 1Co_8:10 ; 1Co_10:21 , is afforded by P Oxy I. 110 .2 (ii/A.D.) ἐρωτᾷ σε Χαιρήμων δειπνῆσαι εἰς κλείνην τοῦ κυρίου Σαράπιδος ἐν τῷ Σαραπείῳ αὔριον , ἥτις ἐστὶν ῑε̄ , ἀπὸ ὥρας θ̄ , where the nature of the invitation points to a ceremonial rather than to a private feast : cf. ib. XII. 1484 (ii/iii A.D.), and see Wilcken Archiv iv. p. 211, Otto Preiester ii. p. 16. See also the temple-account P Oxy VIII. 1144 (i/ii A.D.) δ̣α̣π̣α̣νης ἱερᾶς κλει̣[νης ] ἕως ῑ̣ζ̣̄ (δραχμαὶ ) ῑδ̄ , where the editor notes that ἱερ . κλ . = lectisternii. In ib. III. 523 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 97) the meal takes place not in a temple, but in the house of Claudius Serapion ἐν τοῖς (cf. Luk_2:49 ) Κλαυδ (ίου ) Σαραπίω (νος ), where the difficulty of avoiding the εἰδωλόθυτον must have been specially great if the Christian was not to shun all social intercourse with heathen neighbours. In Syll 877 .21 ( c. B.C. 420) the word occurs ( ex suppl. ) meaning bier, as in Thucydifies and Plato. Had we later authority, it would be tempting to apply this in Rev_2:22 . [Charles ( Studies in the Apocalypse , p. 98 ff.) understands κλίνη here = bed of illness or suffering in accordance with Heb. idiom : cf. Jdt_8:8 .] In a will of B.C. 123 preserved, in the Gizeh-Museum (Inv. Nr. 103 .88 ), and published by GH in Archiv i. p. 63 ff., the testator leaves practically the whole of his property to his wife, while his two sons receive nothing but a bed apiece (or perhaps a mattress and bed jointly) .5 πλὴν στρώματος ἑνὸς καὶ κλείνης τορυνευτῆς ᾱ . The inequality of the disposition leads the editors to remark that the bequest of a bed may well have been the Egyptian method of cutting off with a shilling. κλινάριον With this rare word ( Act_5:15 ) we may compare the adj. κλινήρης , bed-ridden, in P Oxy VI. 896 .33 (A.D. 316) ὁρ̣ῶμε [ν αὐτὸ ]ν̣ το [ῦτ ]ον κ̣λ̣ε̣[ινή ]ρ̣η̣ν̣ ὄντα πυραιτίοις . . . συνεχ̣[όμενον , we saw the man himself lying on a bed seized with a slight fever (Edd.). The same phrase occurs in the corresponding passage of ib. 983 : cf. BGU I. 45 .14 (A.D. 203) πληγαῖς πλείσταις αὐτὸν ᾔκι̣ζ̣ο̣ν καὶ ἐκ τούτου κλεινήρν γεγονέναι . [Supplemental from 1930 edition] For this rare dim. ( Act_5:15 ) cf. PSI VI. 616 .14 (iii/B.C.) τὰ κλινάρια , and see JBL xlv. (1926), p 201.
