+ Its basic sense is a bringing together: Plato uses it for the union of man and woman and for collection as opposed to division in dialectic, Aristotle for combining and for a collection of documents, Polybius for the gathering of troops, supplies, taxes and the harvest, and Isocrates for the knitting of the brow.^(CGL 2021)^(LSJ 1940)

+ The Septuagint uses it for a collection or a harvest, the place where the waters were gathered at creation, and above all the assembly or congregation of Israel; an inscription from Egypt of the 2nd century BC uses it for an assembly.^(Lust 2003)^(LSJ 1940) In the New Testament it is the Jewish place of assembly, the synagogue.^(CGL 2021)^(BDAG 2000) Modern Greek [[m|el|συναγωγή|tr=synagogí]] is a learned word for a gathering and for drawing a conclusion, and, as a separate word, the synagogue.^(Triantafyllidis 1998)
