According to Grimm-Thayer this verb with λόγον in the sense of ";settle accounts,"; ";make a reckoning with,"; as in its NT occurrences (Matthew 18:23 f. ; Matthew 25:19), is ";not found in Grk. auth."; But numerous exx. can now be furnished from the papyri, e.g. P Lond 131 recto.194 (accounts—A.D. 78–79) (= I. p. 175) συ ]ναίρων μετὰ Ἐπιμάχο (υ) τὸν λόγον, BGU III. 775.19 (ii/A.D.) τὰ ἤδη πρόλημα (l. πρόλημμα) (";what has already been advanced";) ἀφὲς ἄχρης (l. ἄχρις) ἂν γένομε ἐκῖ καὶ συνάρωμεν λόγον, PSI VII. 801.3 (ii/A.D. ?) παν ̣τὸς λόγο (υ) συνηρμένο (υ), and P Flor III. 372.14 (iii/A.D.) ἕως Θὼθ παντὸς λόγο [υ ]συνηρμένου ὀφίλῳ [.

Other exx. of the verb are P Rein 87 (B.C. 113–2) ἀπὸ συναλλαγ [μάτων αὐτῶ ]ι συνηρμένων, and ib. 318 (B.C. 109), and BGU IV. 478.9 (iii/A.D.) (= Chrest. I. p. 564), a father’s letter of congratulation to his son on his marriage, ὅπως γενόμενοι παρ᾽ ὑμῖν συνάρωμεν διπλῆν ε [ἰ ]λαπίνην (";banquet";) τεθαλυῗαν.
For the subst. σύναρσις, hitherto attested only in Byz. writers, cf. Ostr 1135.5 (A.D. 214) ἄχρι λόγου συνάρσ ̣εως P Amh II. 101.4 (early iii/A.D.) ἐκ συνάρσεως λόγων, and for συναίρεμα, ";summary,"; see P Tebt II. 340.5 al. (A.D. 206), and cf. BGU VII. 1613 Bii. 16 (A.D. 69–70), 1626.2 (iii/A.D.).
