Carl,

Also of some interest is Thucydides use of TWi DHMOSIWi for prison.
Meyer notes this (Crit. & Exeg. Handbook Acts p.111) but he must have  
been using a different text of Thucydides in 1884 since his citation  
doesn't match the TLG text.

Thucydides Hist…, Historia…, Book 5, chapter 18, sect. 7

And the Athenians shall render to the Lacedæmonians Coryphasium,  
Cythera, Methone, Pteleum, and Atalante: they shall likewise deliver  
whatsoever Lacedæmonians are in the prison of Athens, or in any  
prison of what place soever in the Athenian dominion: and dismiss all  
the Peloponnesians besieged in Scione, and all that Brasidas did  
there put in, and whatsoever confederates of the Lacedæmonians are in  
prison, either at Athens or in the Athenian state.
