συνχαίρω (~ συγχαίρω ) [page 616] συνχαίρω , generally in the NT = rejoice with : cf. P Lond 43 .3 (ii/B.C.) (= I. p. 48, UPZ i. p. 635), where a mother writes to her son, πυνθανομένη μανθάνειν σε Αἰγύπτια γράμματα συνεχάρην σοι καὶ ἐμαυτῆι , having ascertained that you are learning the Egyptian script, I rejoiced for you and for myself, and Syll 807 (= .3 1173) .5 (after A.D. 138) ὀρθὸν ἀνέβλεψε τοῦ δήμου παρεστῶτος καὶ συνχαιρομένου , which the editor describes as medii vel passivi usus barbarus, but cites the simplex in Aristoph. Pax 291 ὡς ἥδομαι καὶ χαίρομαι κεὐφραίνομαι , and ib . .10 ἐσώθη καὶ δημοσίᾳ ηὐχαρίστησεν τῷ θεῷ καὶ ὁ δῆμος συνεχάρη αὐτῷ . See also Proleg . p. 161, and Hatzidakis Gr . p. 200. For the sense of congratulate, which Lightfoot gives the verb in Php_2:17 f , we may cite the ironical P Tebt II. 424 .5 (late iii/A.D.) εἰ μὲν ἐπιμένι (= ει )ς σου τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ , συνχέ (= αί )ρω σοι , if you persist in your folly, I congratulate you (Edd.). Similarly EGU IV. 1080 .2 (iii/A.D.) (= Chrest . I. p. 564 ), where a father congratulates his son on his happy marriage, ἀσπάζομαί σε συνχαίρων ἐπὶ τῇ ὑπαρχθείσῃ σοι ἀγαθῇ [ἐ ]σ̣ευβεῖ ( l . εὐσεβεῖ ) καὶ εὐτυχῇ ( l . εὐτυχεῖ ) [σ ]υμβιώσι .
