<< How do we get that PORNEIA here is adultery? A case can be made for its
meaning being other than that. >>

You are correct that many interpretations are here possible. But Davies and
Allison [1988:531] state:

<< 'Adultery' is a well-attested meaning for PORNEIA ... >>

And they cite BAGD, Lampe, and Lovestram. I don't have the last two, but
BAGD cites Sirach 23:23 and Hermas Mandate 4.1.5.
