συμφωνία [page 599] συμφωνία is fully discussed by Philipps Barry in JBL xxvii. part ii. (1908), p. 99 ff. (cf. also xxiii. part ii. (1904), p. 180 ff.), with the result that both in Dan_3:5 and Luk_15:25 it is pronounced to be the name of a musical instrument, perhaps a bagpipe. For the more general sense of music, symphony, cf. P Lond 968 (iii/A.D.) (= III. p. xlix) the fragment of an account, including an entry ὑπὲρ συμφωνίας τυμπάνων , and for the word = a company of musicians, cf. P Flor II. 74 .5 (A.D. 181) ὁμολογῶ πα̣ρ̣ειληφέναι ὑμᾶς μεθ᾽ ἧς ἔχετε συμφωνίας πάσης μουσικῶν τε καὶ ἄλλων , ὑπ̣ουργοῦντα [ς ] . . . ἐν τῇ προκειμένῃ κώμῃ and P Oxy X. 1275 .9 (iii/A.D.) ὁ̣ προεστὼς συμφωνίας αὐλητῶν καὶ μουσικῶν , cf. .12, .24 . Συμφωνία is also found in a sense apparently unknown to classical Greek = agreement in such passages as P Oxy I. 104 .20 (A.D. 96) ὑπὲρ διαλύσεως καὶ συμφωνίας π̣ε̣ρι̣̣ τῶν ὀφειλομένων ὑπ᾽ ἐμοῦ τῷ . . . Ἀτρῇ , P Rein 44 .15 (A.D. 104) μετὰ τὸν τῆς συμφωνίας χρόνον τῆς γενομένης μεταξὺ αὐτοῦ καὶ Ἰσιδώρας , and P Tebt II. 420 .9 (iii/A.D.) (δραχμὰς ) κ̄η̄ ὐπὲρ συμφωνίας τῆς ἀβρ <ό >χω (= ου ), 28 drachmae for the agreement concerning the unirrigated land.
