b. in the Greek authors who wrote about Roman affairs (like the Latin orbis terrarum) equivalent to the Roman empire: so πᾶσαοἰκουμένη contextually equivalent to all the subjects of this empire, the whole inhabited earth, the world (so in (Hyperides, Eux. 42 (probably Liddell and Scott)) the Sept. for תֵּבֵל and אֶרֶץ): πᾶσαοἰκουμένη, Josephus, b. j. 7,3, 3); ὅλῃ ἡ οἰκουμένη, Josephus, Antiquities 8,13, 4 πᾶσαοἰκουμένη; cf. Bleek, Erklär. d. drei ersten Evv. i., p. 68); by metonymy, the inhabitants of the earth, men: ἡ οἰκουμένη ὅλῃ, all mankind, the universe, the world: τά πάντα); ἡ οἰκουμένη μελλουσα, that consummate state of all things which will exist after Christ's return from heaven, πάντα and τά πάντα, Hebrews 2:8, which there is taken in an absolute sense).
