    eirênê, f., (from eirô, "to tie") is the current word for peace with connotations of duration. The word not only denotes absence of warfare, but absence of conflict in general. It is found personified as the name of a goddess.

    anokhê, f., (from anekhô, "to hold up", hence: "cease") refers specifically to peace following warfare, i. e. a truce or armistice.

    anakôkhê, f., (variant form: anokôkhê) is found only in Thucydides where Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Ad Amm. de Thuc.) criticizes the word as being obsolete and unintelligible. The word shares the etymology of anokhê and is used in a similar sense.

    ekekheiria, f., (from ekhô, "to hold (sc. back)" and kheir, 1f, "hand") appears to be used in a similar sense as anokhê.

    diokôkê, f., (from diekhô, "to hold apart") is a rare word used in Dio Cassius to refer to a pause in warfare, i. e. a temporary peace/ armistice (in Thucidides it refers to a pause in an epidemic).

    Related words:

    sunthêkê, f., (from suntithêmi, "put together) is the current word for peace-treaty, the meaning of the word covering treaties and deals in general.

    spondê, f., (from spendô, "pour a libation") is a frequent word properly referring to a drink-offering and hence to to a peace treaty. In this meaning the words keeps it's religious/solemn connotations.

    orkos, m., literally means "object of oath" or "oath" and hence sometimes perhaps can be understood in a transferred sense to refer to a (peace-)treaty
