49 οἰκοφθόρος
οἰκοφθόρος, ον (οἶκος, φθείρω; Eur., Pla.; Philo, Agr. 73; SibOr 2, 257; Suda s.v. Ἰλάριος refers οἰκ. to an act of adultery that destroys a household; cp. Plut., Mor. 12b γυναικῶν οἰκοφθορίαι γαμετῶν ‘seducers of married women’) pert. to being a cause of corruption in a household, destroyer of houses or families, as subst. IEph 16:1. The fate of the seducers (Hesych. completes the equation οἰκοφθόρος = μοιχός) serves as a premise in an argument from the lesser to the greater: ‘The argument is that if such adulterers perished, how much more those who corrupt faith by their evil teaching.’ WSchoedel, Ignatius of Antioch ’85, 79.—WBauer concluded that the term was used specif. (citing connection with the imagery of IEph 15:3; s. οἶκος 1aβ) in the sense of temple-destroyer, arguing that since Ign. is ‘plainly dependent’ on 1 Cor 6 (vs. 19; cp. also 1 Cor 3:16f) here, he is prob. thinking of the introduction of immorality as the particular means of destruction; in support Bauer compares Plut., Mor. (s. above) and PGrenf I, 53, 19f.—DELG s.v. φθείρω.
