1. Adv. of Time, relat. to τηνίκα, at the time when, usu. with past tenses of ind., Od. 22.198 (nowhere else in Hom.), Pi. l.c., S. Aj. 1144, al., Th. 7.73, Ar. Nu. 607, Lys. 19.4, Pl. Grg. 509e, D. 21.78, etc.; ἡνίκ' ἐχρῆν δύνειν, νῦν ἄρχεται ἡδύνεσθαι Timo17: with pres. ind., ἡνίκαπερ X. Cyr. 8.8.9; μετὰ τὴν ζωὴν.. ἡνίκ' οὐκ εἰσίν Phld.

It may be well to illustrate some of the different constructions of this word. Thus it is construed with the ind. in P Goodspeed 3.9 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 47) ἡνίκα ἤμελλον κοιμηθῆναι, P Ryl II. 119.6 (A.D. 54–67) ἡνίκα ἦν δικαιοδότης, ib. 181.5 (c. A.D. 203–4) ἡνίκα περιῆν, P Oxy VI. 939.83 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 130) ἡνίκα ἐβαρεῖτο τῇ νόσῳ : with the conj. without ἄν in P Oxy 1. 68.21 (A.D. 131) ἡνίκα περιῇ, ";in her lifetime"; (Edd.) : and with the conj. with ἄν or ἐάν in ib. IO4.26 (A.D. 96) ἡνίκα ἐὰν ἀπαλλαγῇ τοῦ ἀνδρός, P Tebt II. 317.18 (A.D. 174–5) ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰς τὸν νομὸν παραγένηται, ";whenever he visits the nome"; (Edd.).
