P Eleph 1.14 (B.C. 311–10) (= Selections, p. 4) ὡς ἐκεῖ τοῦ συναλλάγματος γεγενημένου, ";on the ground that the agreement had been come to there,"; P Fay 110.13 (A.D. 94) ἵ [ν ]α τὰ πρόβατα ἐκεῖ κοιμηθῆι, ib. 118.24 (A.D. 110) ε ̣͗χ᾽ ἐκ ̣ῖ ἕ [ως ] ποτίσῃς τὼ ἐπτάρουρον τοῦ ἐλαιῶνο [ς, ";stay there till you have watered the seven-acre at the olive-yard,"; P Ryl II. 239.9 (mid. iii/A.D.) ἐπίμινον τοῖς ἐκεῖ, ";stay on for the men there."; In the boy’s letter P Oxy I. 119.12 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections, p. 103) the word is used somewhat pleonastically—πεπλάνηκαν ἡμῶς (l. ἡμᾶς) ἐκε [ῖ ], τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ι ̄β ̄ ὅτι (l. ὅτε) ἔπλευσες, ";they deceived us there on the 12th, the day you sailed."; For the laxer use = ἐκεῖσε, as in Romans 15:24, cf. P Meyer 20.46 (1st half iii/A.D.) ἵνα ἐκ ̣εῖ πέμπω τὰς ἐπιστολάς. For a contrast with ἐνταῦθα, see Preisigke 1002.10 f. (time of Diocletian?) τὰ ἐκεῖ θαύματ [α ] εἶδον καὶ τὰ ἐνταῦθα. The word is MGr.
