Buttmann, 264f (227f); Harmsen in the Zeitschr. f. wissensch. Theol. for 1874, pp. 345), is like the Latinad with the gerundive. It is of two kinds; either αα. εἰς τό combines with the verb on which it depends into a single sentence, as παραδώσουσιν αὐτόν ... εἰς τό ἐμπαῖξαι (Vulg.ad deludendum), Mat_20:19; εἰς τό σταυρωθῆναι, Mat_26:2; οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς τό τά εἰδωλόθυτα ἐσθίειν (Vulg.aedificabitur ad manducandum idolothyta), 1Co_8:10; μή οἰκίας οὐκ ἔχετε εἰς τό ἐσθίειν καί πίνειν, 1Co_11:22; εἰς τό προσφέρειν δῶρα τέ καί θυσίας καθίσταται (Vulg.ad offerenda munera et hostias), Heb_8:3; add, Heb_9:28; 1Th_2:16; 1Th_4:9; Php_1:23; or ββ. εἰς τό with the infinitive has the force of a separate telic clause (equivalent to ἵνα with the subjunctive) (Meyer (on Rom_1:20) asserts that this is its uniform force, at least in Romans (cf. his note on 2Co_8:6); on the other hand, Harmsen (u. s.) denies the telic force of εἰς τό before an infinitive present; cf. also Winers Grammar, 329 (309); especially Buttmann, as above and p. 265 note; Ellicott on 1Th_2:12; and see below, d. at the end): Luk_20:20 R G; Act_3:19 (T WH πρός); Rom_1:11; Rom_4:16; Rom_4:18; Rom_11:11; Rom_12:2; Rom_15:8; Rom_15:13; 1Co_9:18; 1Co_10:6; Gal_3:17; Eph_1:12; Eph_1:18; 1Th_2:12; 1Th_2:16; 1Th_3:5; 2Th_1:5; 2Th_2:2; 2Th_2:10; Jas_1:18; Heb_2:17; Heb_7:25; Heb_9:14; Heb_9:28; Heb_12:10; Heb_13:21; εἰς τό μή, lest, 2Co_4:4; 1Pe_3:7. d. the end by which a thing is completed, i. e. the result or effect: Act_10:4; Revelation 6:19 (εἰς τήν ἀνομίαν (but WH brackets), so that iniquity was the result); Rev_10:10; Rev_13:14; 1Co_11:17; 2Co_2:16; Eph_5:2, etc.; εἰς τό with an infinitive so that (cf. ββ. above): Rom_1:20; 2Co_8:6. C. Constructions that are peculiar in some respects. 1. Various forms of pregnant and brachylogical construction (Winers Grammar, § 66, 2; (less fully, Buttmann, 327 (282)); Bernhardy (1829), p. 348f): σῴζειν τινα εἰς etc. to save by translating into etc. 2Ti_4:18 (see σῴζω, b. under the end); διασώζειν, 1Pe_3:20 (the Sept. Gen_19:19, and often in Greek writings); μισθουσθαι ἐργάτας εἰς τήν ἀμπελῶνα, to go into etc. Mat_20:1; ἐλευθερουν εἰς etc. Rom_8:21; ἀποδιδόναι τινα εἰς Αἴγυπτον, Act_7:9; ἔνοχος εἰς γηνναν, to depart into etc. (cf. Buttmann, 170 (148) note), Mat_5:22; κλαν εἰς τινας, to break and distribute among etc. Mar_8:19; ἀσφαλίζεσθαι εἰς τό ξύλον, Act_16:24; κτᾶσθαι χρυσόν εἰς τάς ζώνας, Mat_10:9; ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον, rolled up and laid away in etc. Joh_20:7. 2. Akin to this is the very common use of εἰς after verbs signifying rest or continuance in a place, because the idea of a previous motion into the place spoken of is involved (cf. Winers Grammar, § 50, 4b.; Buttmann, 332f (286f); Kühner, ii., p. 317; (Jelf, § 646, 1); Bernhardy (1829), p. 215; (yet cf. also examples in Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word εἰς, 1)): ὑρεθη εἰς Ἄζωτον, namely, transferred or carried off to, Act_8:40, cf. Act_8:39 πνεῦμα κυρίου ἥρπασε τόν Φίλιππον (Est_1:5, τοῖς ἔθνεσι τοῖς εὑρεθεῖσιν εἰς τό πόλιν; so φανεῖσθαι is followed by εἰς in 2Ma_1:33 2Ma_7:22). δεῖ με τήν ἑορτήν ποιῆσαι εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, namely, by going, Act_18:21 Rec.; likewise ἑτοίμως ἔχω ἀποθανεῖν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, Act_21:13 (ἡφαιστιων εἰς Ἐκβάτανα ἀπέθανε, Aelian v. h. 7, 8); συνέβαλεν ἡμῖν εἰς Ασσον, Act_20:14; ἡ μελλουσα δόξα εἰς ἡμᾶς ἀποκαλυφθῆναι, which shall be revealed (and conferred) on us, Rom_8:18.κατοικεῖν εἰς πόλιν, εἰς γῆν, to come into a city and dwell there, Mat_2:23; Mat_4:13; Act_7:4 (cf. Num_35:33; 2Ch_19:4 etc.); also παροικεῖν, Heb_11:9 (ἐνοικεῖν, Xenophon, an. 1, 2, 24); στῆναι, ἑστηκεναι (because it is nearly equivalent to to have placed oneself) εἰς τί, Luk_6:8; Joh_20:19; Joh_20:26; 1Pe_5:12; καθῆσθαι, to have gone unto a place and to be sitting there, Mar_13:3; 2Th_2:4 (on this use of these two verbs in Greek authors cf. Matthiae, ii., p. 1344f; (cf. Winers Grammar, and Buttmann, as above)). εἶναι εἰς with the accusative of place see εἰμί, V. 2 a.; οἱ εἰς τόν οἶκον μου namely, ὄντες, Luk_9:61; τοῖς εἰς μακράν namely, οὖσι (German ins Ferne hin befindlich), Act_2:39. συνάγεσθαι followed by εἰς with the accusative of place: to go to a place and assemble there, Mat_26:3 and Act_4:5 R T, (1Es_5:46 (); ). Sometimes a word implying motion, occurring in the same sentence, seems to have occasioned the connection of a verb of rest with εἰς, as it were by a kind of attraction (Buttmann, as above): ἐξερχόμενος ηὐλίζετο εἰς τό ὄρος, Luk_21:37; ἀκούσας ... ὄντα σιτία εἰς Αἴγυπτον (Rec. σῖτα ἐν Αἴγυπτον.) ἐξαπέστειλεν etc. Act_7:12; παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς συνέδρια καί εἰς συναγωγάς δααρησεσθε, Mar_13:9 (Winers Grammar, 416 (387), Buttmann, 333 (287)); ὕπαγε, νίψαι (but L brackets) εἰς τήν κολυμβήθραν, Joh_9:7, although νίπτεσθαι εἰς τί can also be used (as λούεσθαι εἰς τό βαλανεῖον, Alciphron, epistles 3, 43; εἰς λουτρωνας, Athen. 10, p. 438 e.; λούειν τινα εἰς σκάφην, Epictetus diss. 3, 22, 71), since the water with which one bathes flows down into the pool. Cf. Beyer, De praepositt. εἰς; et ἐν in N. T. permutatione. Lipsius 1824, 4to. D. Adverbial phrases (cf. Matthiae, § 578 d.): εἰς τέλος (see τέλος 1 a.); εἰς τό πάλιν, see A. II 2 above; εἰς τό παντελές, perfectly, utterly, Luk_13:11 (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 51, 1 c.); εἰς κενόν (see κενός, 3); εἰς ὑπάντησιν and εἰς ἀπάντησιν, see each substantive. In composition εἰς is equivalent to the Latinin andad.

εἰς [page 186] For this common preposition following verbs of motion , it is sufficient to quote P Par 63 .111 (B.C. 164) τὰ σπέρματα κατενεγκεῖν εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς , P Tebt I. 59 .4 (B.C. 99) καταντήσαντος γὰρ εἰς τὴν πόλιν Σ . κτλ ., BGU I. 27 .5 ff. (ii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 101) ὅτει εἰς γῆν ἐλήλυθα . . ἀνέβην δὲ εἰς Ῥώμην , and Meyer Ostr 66 .2 (iii/A.D.) ἀπῆλθεν εἰς μακράν (cf. Act_2:39 ). When Polycrates writes to his father γίνωσκέ με . . . εἰς γεωμέτρου πορευόμενον (P Petr II. 11 2 .3 mid. iii/B.C.), Witkowski ( Epp. . 2Pe_2:1-22 ) understands the meaning to be that apud agrimensores regios artem agros metiendi discebat : cf. P Oxy IX. 1215 .4 (ii/iii A.D.) μὴ ἀπέλθῃς εἰς τὸ Σατύρου , do not go to the house of S., P Iand 14 .5 (iv/A.D.) ἄπελθε εἰς Λύκ [ο̣υ̣. The usage survives in MGr : see Thumb Handbook , § 46. A metaphorical usage underlies such passages as P Vat A .12 (B.C. 168) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 65) τοῦ παιδίου σου εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ἐληλυθότος , P Lond 42 .16 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections , p. 10) εἰς πᾶν τι ἐληλυθυῖα διὰ τὴν τοῦ σίτου τιμήν , having come to the last extremity because of the high price of corn, and P Meyer 19 .4 (ii/A.D.) ὕπνωσ̣α εἰς λ̣ύσιν , where the editor, following Wilcken, renders ich habe bis zur Lφsung (der Glieder) geschlafen. The idea of direction may still be traced in P Tebt I. 39 .32 (B.C. 114) ἐτραυμάτισαν τὴν γυναῖκά μου εἰς τὴν δεξιὰν χεῖρα , P Ryl II. 145 .13 (A.D. 38) ἔδωκεν πληγὰς πλείους εἰς πᾶν μέρος τοῦ σώματος , and the way is thus prepared for εἰς following verbs of rest , etc., e.g. P Par 49 .35 (B.C. 164 158) εἰς . . . τὰ Πρωτάρχου καταλύσω , I shall stay at the inn of Protarchus, P Fay III .12 (A.D. 95 6) εἰς Διο [νυσι ]άδα μῖναι ( l. μεῖναι ), BGU II. 423 .7 (ii/A.D.) μου κινδυνεύσαντος εἰς θάλασσαν , when I encountered danger at sea, ib. III. 845 .20 (ii/A.D.) οἱ δοῦλοί σου εἰς τὴν κέλλαν α (ὐ )τῶν ἔχουσιν ἐλα̣ι̣ας , P Oxy III. 523 .2 (ii/A.D.) διπνῆσ (αι ) . . εἰς κλείνην τοῦ κυρίου Σαράπιδος , to dine at the table of the lord Sarapis, and the Christian letter P Heid 6 .16 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 126) παρακαλῶ . . . ἵνα μνημον [ε ]ύῃς μοι εἰς τὰς ἁγίας σου εὐχάς , I beseech you to remember me in your holy prayers. The interchange of εἰς and ἐν in late Greek is well illustrated by a letter from Alexandria of A.D. 22, where the writer states ἐπὶ τῷ γεγονέναι ἐν Ἀλεξανδρίᾳ . . . ἔμ [αθον παρά τινων ] ἁλιέω̣ν εἰς Ἀλεξάνδρι [αν (P Oxy II. 294 .3 ff. = Selections , p. 34) : see further Proleg. pp. 234 f., 245. For εἰς in the wide sense in which we use for we may cite such passages as P Lille I. 26 .1 (iii/B.C.) ἔγραψάς μοι περὶ τῆς εἰς τὴν σησαμείαν γῆς , ib. .8 ἕως ἂν ] μάθωμεν περὶ τῶν κ [εχρ ]ηματισμένων εἰς τὸν νομόν , P Petr II. 11 (1) .6 (mid. iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 8) ἀπὸ τούτου τὸ μὲν ἥμυσυ εἰς τὰ δέοντα ὑπελιπόμην , τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν εἰς τὸ δάνειον κατέβαλον , P Lond 43 .9 (ii/B.C.) (= I. p. 48, Witkowski .2 , P. 110) ἕξεις ἐφόδιον εἰς τὸ γῆρας , P Tebt I. 5 .77 (B.C. 118) προστε ]τάχασι δὲ καὶ τὰ εἰς τὴν ταφὴν τοῦ Ἄπιος , P Oxy I 37 i. 9 (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 49) ἐγένετο ἐνθάδε ἡ τροφεῖτις εἰς υἱὸν τοῦ Πεσούριος , there was concluded here the nursing-contract for the son of Pesouris ; and the recurring formulae in a private account of c. A.D. 1, ib. IV. 736 .9 θρύων εἰς τοὺς ὰ̣ρ̣τους (ὀβολοὶ δύο ), omelette for the bread 2 ob., .11εἰς κατανθρωπισμὸν γυναικ (ὸς ) Γεμέλλου (τετρώβολον ?), for treating (?) the wife of Gemellus 4 ob. (Edd.), etc. This extension in the vernacular of εἰς expressing destination makes it unnecessary to think of Semitism in εἶναι εἰς , ἐγείρειν εἰς ( Act_8:23 ; Act_13:22 ) : cf. Proleg. p. 71 f. The meaning to the extent of, amounting to, is found in P Par 47 .18 ( c. B.C. 153) χάριν γὰρ ἡμῶν ἠζημίοται εἰς χαλκοῦ τ (άλαντα ) ῑε̄ , P Tebt I. 50 .16 (B.C. 112 1) βλάβος γενηθῆναι εἰς (πυροῦ ) (ἀρτάβας ) λ̄ . The thought of resulting advantage appears in P Lond 42 .21 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections , p. 10) μηδ᾽ ἐνβεβλοφέναι εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν περί <στασιν >, nor spared a look for our helpless state, P Par 39 .10 (B.C. 161) ἐμβλέψαντες εἴς τε ἐμὲ . . . καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκείνων ὀρφάνειαν , P Meyer 1 .27 (B.C. 144) τούτου δὲ γενομένου [τευξόμεθα τ ]ῆς παρ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν βίον βοηθείας , and of resulting disadvantage in P Eleph 1 .9 (B.C. 311 0) κακοτεχνεῖν μηδὲν . . . εἰς Δημητρίαν , P Par 14 .47 (ii/B.C.) περὶ μὲν γὰρ τῆς ὕβρεως καὶ πληγῶν καὶ ὧν συντετελεσμένοι εἰσὶν εἴς με , P Fay 12 .7 ( c. B.C. 103) Διοκλείους . . . ἀδικήματα εἴς μ [ε ] σ̣υ̣, ν̣ ἄλλο̣ι̣ς συντελεσαμένου . A good example of εἰς followed by the acc. of the person = in the name of is afforded by P Tebt I. 30 .19 (B.C. 115) ἔτι ἀναγράφουσι τὸν κλῆρον εἰς τὸν Πέτρωνα , they continue to register the holding under the name of Petron (Edd.). The full phrase occurs in P Hib I. 74 .3 ( c. B.C. 250) σύμβολα δὲ ποιῆσαι πρ [ὸ ]ς αὐτο [ὺς ] β̄ , τὸ μὲν ἓν εἰς τὸ Κλεομάχου ὄνομα κτλ ., P Petr II. 2(1) .3 δόντων ἡμῶν [τὴν ἔν ]τευξιν εἰς τὸ τοῦ βασιλέως ὄνομα , P Meyer 8 .13 (A.D. 151) πάντα̣ [καταγραφῆναι ] συνέταξεν εἰς τὸ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ ὄνο̣μα : see further s.v. ὄνομα , and cf. P Giss I. 66 .9 (early ii/A.D.) ἐρωτῶ [σ ]ε εἰς τὴν τῶν θεῶν εὐσέβειαν , per pietatem oro. For εἰς in connexion with payments cf. e.g. P Amh II. 55 .4 (B.C. 176 or 165) ὁμολογῶ ἔχειν παρ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ἐκφόρια τοῦ ε̄ (ἔτους ) Παῦνι ῑγ̄ (πυροῦ ) (ἀρτάβας ) πεντήκοντα ἑπτά , I acknowledge that I have received from you for the rent of the fifth year on Pauni 13 fifty-seven artabae of wheat, P Oxy II. 275 .19 (A.D. 66) ἐφ᾽ ᾧ δώσει αὐτῷ κατὰ μῆνα ὁ Πτολεμαῖος εἰς λόγον (cf. Php_4:15 ) διατροφῆς δραχμὰς πέντε , on condition that Ptolemaeus shall give him monthly five drachmae on account of victuals, ib. III. 496 .10 (A.D. 127) ἐὰν δὲ ἔνκ̣υ̣ο [ς ] οὖσα ἡ γα [μου ]μένη ἀπαλλαγῇ δώσει αὐτῇ ὁ γαμῶν ἄλλας εἰς λόγον λοχείας δραχμὰς ἑξήκοντ [α , and if the bride is at the time of separation in a state of pregnancy the husband shall give her on account of the birth 60 drachmae more (Edd.), ib. 530 .15 (ii/A.D.) εἰς λ [ό ]γον τόκου δραχμὰς ὀκτώ , 8 drachmae on account of interest, BGU I. 171 .1 (A.D. 156) ἔσχον παρ᾽ ῢ̣̣μ̣ω̣ν̣ ε̣ἰ̣ς̣ δάνιον σπέρ (ματα ) κτλ ., ib. III. 927 .4 (iii/A.D.) παρ ]εσχήκαμέν σοι εἰς λόγον συντελείας κτλ . With this usage of εἰς to specify the various purposes of the items of an account, Deissmann ( BS , p. 117 f.) compares such passages as 1Co_16:1 , 2Co_8:4 ; 2Co_9:1 ; 2Co_9:13 , Rom_15:26 , also Act_24:17 , and perhaps Mar_8:19 f. Elsewhere ( ib. p. 194 f.) he cites CPR I. 1 .11 (A.D. 83 4) τὰς εἰς τὸν Μάρωνα . . . οἰκονομίας , which the editor translates as the endorsement of Maron s account , and ib. 18 .12 (A.D. 124) εἰς ἄλλον τινὰ γράφειν διαθήκην , to draw up a will in favour of any other person ; see also P Fay 83 .6 (A.D. 163), an acknowledgment by the sitologi of a payment of 4 .9 / 24 artabae of wheat which have been placed εἰς Σαραπιάδα , to the account of Sarapias, similarly ib. 84 .8 (A.D. 163), 162 (A.D. 172) and the editors introduction to 81. The temporal use of εἰς to denote the end of a period is seen in P Hib I. 27 .121 (calendar B.C. 301 240) κ̄δ̄ ἡλίου τροπαὶ εἰς θέρος , P Par 51 .2 (B.C. 160) Τῦβι ῑβ̄ εἰς τὴν ῑγ̄ , P Tebt I. 5 .96 (B.C. 118) ἀπ [ὸ το ]ῦ ς̄ (ἔτους ) εἰς ἄλλα τρία , P Oxy II. 277 .5 (lease of land B.C. 19) ὥστε σπεῖραι εἰς τὸ δωδέκατον ἔτος πυρῶι . With Mat_28:1 cf. more particularly P Petr III. 28( e ) .5 (B.C. 260) νυκτὸς τῆι κ̄ζ̣̄ εἰς τὴ [ν κ̄η̄ ] τοῦ Πάχων , P Ryl II. 127 .6 (A.D. 29) νυκτὶ τῇ φερούσῃ εἰς τὴν ῑζ̄ τοῦ ἐνεστῶτο (ς ) μηνό (ς ). See also BGU III. 916 .15 (i/A.D.) ἡ μίσθωσις ἥδ᾽ ᾖ εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν [ἕ ]να , and such temporal phrases as P Petr III. 42 G (9) .6 (mid. iii/B.C.) εἰς τὸ λοιπόν , P Tebt I. 56 .16 ( c. B.C. 130 121) εἰς τὸν ἅπαντα χρόν [ον , and P Oxy X. 1294 .14 (ii/iii A.D.) εἰσάπαξ γὰρ αὐτὸ λήμψῃ , for you will get it once for all (Edd.). As showing the growth in the use of εἰς , two instances may be cited where, with the acc. of a person, it takes the place of a possessive genitive P Tebt I. 16 .9 (B.C. 114) οὐ λήγοντες τῆι̣ [εἰς ] αὐτοὺς αὐθαδίᾳ χρώμενοι , persisting in their violent behaviour, P Par 5 ii. 2 (B.C. 114) χωρὶς τοῦ εἰς αὐτὴν οἶκον ( l. οἴκου ), her house : cf. ib. 5 i. 7 (B.C. 114) τὸν εἰς Τάγην οἶκου ᾠκοδομημένον , where εἰς Τάγην has the force of a dat. commodi. For further particulars reference must be made to the useful Dissertations by Kuhring and Rossberg : see Abbreviations I.
