Definition
οἰκία, -ας, ἡ
(οἶκος), [in LXX chiefly (very freq.) for בַּיִת ;]
a house, dwelling: Matthew 2:11; 7:24-27, Mark 1:29, al.; ἐν οἰκίᾳ (= cl. κατ ̓ οἰκίαν), at home, Luke 8:27; εἰς οἰ., 2 John 10; οἰ, with genitive of person(s), usually has the art. (Matthew 8:14, al., but cf. οἶκος and see Bl., § 46, 9); ἡ οἰ. τ. πατρός μου, John 14:2.
Metaphorical,
(a) of the body as the dwelling of the soul: 2 Corinthians 5:1;
(b) of property (as בַּיִת, Genesis 45:18, LXX, τ. υπάρχοντα; 1 Kings 13:8, LXX, οἶκος) = οἶκος (which see): Mark 12:40, Luke 20:47;
(with) of the inmates of the dwelling, the household: Matthew 12:25; with genitive of person(s), John 4:53, 1 Corinthians 16:15
Synonyms: οἶκος, which in Attic law denoted the whole estate, οἰκία, the dwelling only. In cl. poets οἶκος has also the latter sense, but not in prose, except in metaphorically usage, where it signifies both property and household. The foregoing distinction is not, however, consistently maintained in late Greek; cf. MM, ii, xvii, and see Thayer, see word οἰκία
