(εἰς ἐμαυτόν, Sap. viii. 18). γίνομαι eis with ace. of place, see γίνομαι, 5g. b. before names of cities, villages, and countries, εἰς may be rendered simply to, towards, (Germ. nach ; as if it indicated merely motion towards a destination; [cf.

If the surface only of the place entered is touched or occupied, eis, like the Lat. in, may [often] be rendered on, upon, (Germ. auf), [sometimes by unto, — (idioms vary) ], to mark the limit reached, or where one sets foot. Of this sort are εἰς τὸ πέραν [A.
