Matthew 24:14

ὅλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ. The frequent and increasing use of ὅλος for πᾶς must be regarded as a modernism. See Geldart’s Modern Greek, p. 184, 187. Possibly the similarity in sound to Hebr. Col may have had an influence.

ἡ οἰκουμένη (γῆ). ‘The inhabited earth’ originally the Hellenic portion of the world, (Dem. and Æsch.), later the Roman Empire, and the whole world: τὸ τῆς ὅλης οἰκουμένης σχῆμα, Polyb. I. 4. 6; in Hebrews 2:5, of the future age—the world of Christianity: οὐ γὰρ�. The adjective οἰκουμενικός, not in N.T., is frequent in later ecclesiastical use.
