B-Greekers,

 

What is it I am missing in Mark 1:29.  TEN OIKIAN?  I thought OIKOS was
2nd declension masculine!  I see that OIKIA can be used as an adjective.
I guess this is a substantive of some sort, but why is the feminine used
when obviously they are going into the house of Simon and Andrew?  In
Mark 2:1 I see what I would expect, EN OIKW.  I don’t really understand
why the difference is made.
