*monouxi/a: o( mo/nos bi/os, xwri\s ga/mwn.

From mo/nos and e)/xw.
Same entry in Photius mu526 Theodoridis (but for the fact that 'marriage' is singular there). Otherwise the word is attested only in Theodore of Mopsuestia, Fragments on Matthew 67 (on Matthew 11.28-30) where it seems to refer to some kind of sinful behavior. (Contrast, if so, mu 1219.)
