Colleagues, especially Perry:

Proverbs 21:9 LXX:

The usual meaning of KONIA is "plaster," and KONIAW is "to plaster".
Hence, the second line would be:

"Than to dwell in plastered rooms [elegant!], in a house shared with
wickedness."

I don't believe that ADIKIA can be "a wicked person," although a look at the
Hebrew pushes one to think that. Even the new Glare Supplement to LSJM,
which has a new meanng for the word, does not include this possibility
which has a new meanng for the word, does not include this possibility.
