συναλίζω in the difficult passage συναλιζόμενος (συναλισκόμενος D) παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς Ac 1:4, the word is variously understood:① συνᾰλίζω: to eat at the same table, with focus on fellowship, eat salt with, eat with (s. ἅλς) so the Lat., Syr., Copt. and the other ancient versions, Ephraem (AMerck, Der neuentdeckte Komm. des hl. Ephraem zur AG: ZKT 48, 1924, 228), Chrysost. (s. v.l. in a comment on Ps 140:4); PFeine, Eine vorkanonische Überl. des Lukas 1891, 160; AHilgenfeld, ZWT 38, 1895, 74; BWeiss, Blass, Preuschen; CBowen, ZNW 13, 1912, 247–59 (=Studies in the NT, ed. RHutcheon ’36, 89–109); Wendt, Zahn, Jacquier, JMoffatt; Goodsp., Probs. 122f; EGill, Rev. and Expos. 36, ’39, 197f ‘salt covenant’; OCullmann, Urchristentum u. Gottesdienst ’44, 15; EBishop, ET 56, ’44/45, 220; PBenoit, RB 56, ’49, 191 n. 3; EHaenchen, comm. ad loc. The objections to this point of view are that it fits rather poorly into the context, and also the circumstance that this mng., strictly speaking, is not found elsewh. (in Manetho, Apotel. 5, 339 and Ps.-Clem., Hom. p. 11, 12; 134, 19 Lag. it does not necessarily refer to table fellowship. Yet Libanius V 246, 13 F. ἁλῶν κοινωνεῖν = τραπέζης κ.); besides, Ac 10:41 appears to echo 1:4.② συνᾱλίζω (σύν + ἁλίζω ‘gather’; s. L-S-J-M s.v. ἁλίζω [A]): to bring together in assembly, bring together, assemble, pass., intr. sense come together (both Hdt. et al.; the pass. also Petosiris, Fgm. 33, ln. 6 [Πετόσειρις as an ἀνὴρ παντοίαις τάξεσι θεῶν τε καὶ ἀγγέλων συναλισθείς] and Jos., Bell. 3, 429, the act. Ant. 8, 105) so Weizsäcker; WBrandt, Die evangel. Gesch. 1893 p. 371, 1; Field, Notes 110f (‘as he was assembling w. them’); HHoltzmann, Knopf; WHatch, JBL 30, 1911, 123–28; ASteinmann, OHoltzmann. The objections to this are the singular number (IHeikel, StKr 106, ’35, 315 proposes συναλιζομένοις) and the pres. tense of συναλιζόμενος (a linguistic counterpart may perh. be found in the sing. pres. in Ocellus Luc. 15 πῦρ εἰς ἓν συνερχόμενον).③ The difficulties in 1 and 2 have led some to resort to the expedient of finding in συναλιζόμενος simply another spelling of συναυλιζόμενος, which is actually the reading of several minuscules here (the same variation in X., Cyr. 1, 2, 15 and Ps.-Clem., Hom. p. 11, 12): συναυλίζομαι dep., lit. ‘spend the night with’, then also gener. to spend time with, be with, stay with (Babrius, Fab. 106, 6; Pr 22:24; Synes., Kingship 19 p. 21 d; Achmes 109, 18). So HCadbury, JBL 45, 1926, 310–17; KLake; NRSV. Cp. CMoule, NTS 4, ’57/58, 58–61; MWilcox, The Semitisms of Ac, ’65, 106–109.—On the whole question s. also CTorrey, The Composition and Date of Acts 1916, 23f.—M-M s.v. συναλίζομαι. -
13 зла не помнить
( на ком)прост.bear smb. no grudge (malice); bear no ill-will; overlook the old wrongИ так мне любопытно стало... и не то, что любопытно, а, попросту сказать, потянуло. Схожу, думаю, повидаю её. От меня она зла не видала, а я на ней зла не помню. (В. Короленко, Чудная) — And I grew so very curious... nay, more than that, plainly speaking, I hankered to visit her. And so I will, I thought. She saw no ill-treatment from me, I figured, and I bore her no grudge.
- Он всё одно как и учёный человек теперя, - восхищался Пантелей Прокофьевич, явно польщённый тем, что Степан его хлебом-солью не побрезговал и, зла не помня, пришёл. (М. Шолохов, Тихий Дон) — 'He's just like an educated man now!' Pantelei declared admiringly, obviously flattered by the circumstance that Stepan had accepted his hospitality and overlooked the old wrong.

Cic. Q. Fr. 2, 16, 5:interea e Cappadociā ne pilum quidem,

does not value it a straw, Cat. 10, 13; cf.:nec pili facit uni,

Mart. 6, 58, 10; 1, 32, 3.—Transf.: primipilus (in inscrr. also written PRIMOPIL, and abbrev. P. P.), the chief centurion of the triarii (the transf. arose from the circumstance that the chief centurion of this division was originally designated by the term primi pili, with the omission of the easily supplied centurio, as is shown by the following citation from Liv. 7, 41, 5;soon, however, from primi pili, a new word, primipilus or primopilus, was formed): primus centurio erat, quem nunc primi pili appellant,
