Cf. our English upon this, hereupon, in which the temporal sense and the causal often seem to blend.

Winers Grammar, § 65, 2; (Buttmann, 70 (62)). Many interpreters translate ἐκ τούτου, Joh_6:66; Joh_19:12, from this time, but cf. II. 8 above. 2. of succession in time, a temporal series: ἐκ δευτέρου (as it were, proceeding from, beginning from the second), a second time (see δεύτερος); ἐκ τρίτου, Mat_26:44 (L Tr marginal reading brackets ἐκ τρίτου); ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας (diemexdie, Cicero, ad Att. 7, 26; Caesar b. g. 1, 16, 4;diemdedie, Livy 5, 48) from day to day, day after day, 2Pe_2:8 (Gen_39:10; Num_30:15; (2Ch_24:11); Sir_5:7; Euripides, Rhes. 437 (445) etc.; ἔτος ἐξ ἔτους, Lev_25:50; ἐνιαυτόν ἐξ ἐνιαυτοῦ, Deu_15:20). V. Adverbial phrases (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 51, 1d.), in which lies the idea 1. of direction whence: ἐξ ἐναντίας, cf. I. 4 above. 2. of source: ἐκ συμφώνου, by consent, by agreement, 1Co_7:5; ἐξ ἀνάγκης of necessity, i. e. by compulsion, 2Co_9:7; necessarily, Heb_7:12. 3. of the measure or standard: ἐκ μέρους, so that each is a part of the whole, proportionately (R. V. marginal reading each in his part), 1Co_12:27, cf. Meyer at the passage; in part, partly, 1Co_13:9 ff; ἐκ μέτρου equivalent to μετρίως, by measure, moderately, sparingly, Joh_3:34; ἐξ ἰσότητος, by equality, in equal proportion, 2Co_8:13 (14) (ἐξ ἴσου, Herodotus 7, 135); ἐκ περισσοῦ, beyond measure, Mar_6:51 (WH omit; Tr. brackets).

ἐκ (ἐξ ), prep . c . gen ., from out of, from (see Addendum, p. 492).

ἐκ [page 189] It is unnecessary to illustrate at length the commoner uses of this preposition, but for the sense out of a place see P Par 26 .29 (B.C. 163 2) (= Selections , p. 16) τοῦ δὲ τοῦ Ψινταέους υἱοῦ ἐκ τῆς Μέμφεως χωρισθέντος , but no sooner had the son of Psintaes departed from Memphis, followed a few lines further down by .32 f. ἄλλοι τῶν ἐκ τοῦ Σαραπιείου καὶ ἕτεροι τῶν ἐκ τοῦ Ἀσκληπιείου , where the meaning is somewhat weakened, connected with, belonging to the Serapeum and Asclepieum respectively. With this last usage cf. P Tebt I. 40 .11 (B.C. 117) (= Sections , p. 28) αὐτὸς προθυμούμενος εἶναι ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας , being myself eager to be a member of your house, ib. 59 .5 (B.C. 99) Σοκονώφεως καὶ Ὤιπεως τῶν ἐξ ὑμῶν , Sokonophis and Opis, members of your body (Edd.). For ἐκ used instead of the more common ἀπό to denote the inhabitants of a village or community cf. P Tebt I. 40 .19 (B.C. 117) (= Selections , p. 28) ἐπαναγκάσαι τοὺς ἐκ τῆς κώμης κατακολουθεῖν τοῖς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐθισμοῖς , to compel the inhabitants of the village to follow the ancient customs : see also ib. 26 .15 (B.C. 114) τοὺς ἐκ τῆς κώμης [β ]ασιλικοὺς γεωργούς , ib. 56 .2 (late ii/B.C.) Πετεσοῦχος . . γ̣[εωρ ]γ̣ὸ̣ς̣ τῶν ἐκ Κερκεσήφεως . Other miscellaneous exx. of a somewhat similar use of the preposition are P Vat A .7 (B.C. 168) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 65) διασεσῶσθαι ἐγ μεγάλων κινδύνων (cf. Act_28:4 , Heb_5:7 ), P Lond 42 .14 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections , P. 10) ἐκ τοῦ το [ιού ]του καιροῦ ἐμαυτὴ [ν ] . . . διακεκυβερνηκυῖα , having piloted myself out of such a crisis, ib. .27 ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀπολελύσθαι σε ἐκ τῆς κατοχῆς , concerning your having been released from your retreat, P Tebt I. 5 .77 (B.C. 118) τὰ εἰς τὴν ταφὴν τοῦ Ἄπιος . . ζ̣ητεῖν ἐκ τοῦ βα (σιλικοῦ ), and BGU III. 975 .11, .15 (A.D. 45) (= Selections , p. 42 f.) οὐλὴ καστροκνημίῳ κξ ἀριστερο (ν ) ( l. γαστροκνημίῳ ἐξ ἀριστερῶ (ν )) . . . οὐλὴ κασ [τ ]ροκ [νη ]μιο ἐκ δεξιο (ν ), a scar on the calf of the leg on the left side and a scar on the calf of the leg on the right side ; cf. a sinistra , a dextra. The thought of origin comes out very clearly in the early marriage-contract P Eleph 1 .9 (B.C. 311 0) (= Selections , p. 3) where it is laid down μὴ ἐξέστω δὲ Ἡρακλείδηι . . . τεκνοποιεῖσθαι ἐξ ἄλλης γυναικός : cf. also the notice of birth P Fay 28 .9 (A.D. 150 1) (= Selections , p. 82) ἀπογραφόμεθα τὸν γεννηθέντα ἡμεῖν ἐξ ἀλλήλων υἱὸν Ἰσχυρᾶ [ν , and such passages as BGU II. 447 .7 (A.D. 173 4) τὴν ἐξ ἀμφοτ (έρων ) ἡμῶν θυγατέρα Οὐεττί [αν , P Gen I. 10 .1 (A.D. 323) Δίδυμος οὐετρανὸς ἐκ πατρὸς Ἰσχυρίωνος , Michel 1001 iii. 32 ( c. B.C. 200) τὰ ἐκ ταυτᾶν τέκνα , and OGIS 90 .10 (Rosetta stone B.C. 196) where Ptolemy Epiphanes is described as ὑπάρχων θεὸς ἐκ θεοῦ καὶ θεᾶς : cf. Php_3:5 and the language of the Nicene Creed, of which the oldest copy, belonging to vi/A.D., has been published in P Ryl I. 6. See also the Christian amulet BGU III. 954 .28 (vi/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 134) ὁ φῶς ἐκ φωτός , θ (εὸ )ς ἀληθινὸς χάρισον ἐμὲ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τὸ φῶς . Origin leads easily to cause , as in P Oxy VII. 1020 .5 (A.D. 198 201) τὴν ἐκ τῆς ἡλικίας . . β̣[οήθιαν , the assistance due to immature age (Ed.); cf. P Grenf II. 76 .3 (A.D. 305 6) where a wedded couple agree to a formal divorce, having separated ἐκ τινὸς πονηροῦ δαίμονος , owing to some evil deity . The phrase ἐκ τούτου , as in Joh_6:66 ; Joh_19:12 , is naturally common, e.g. BGU II. 423 .17 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 91) ἐκ τούτου ἐλπίζω ταχὺ προκόσαι ( l. προκόψαι ) τῶν θε [ῶ ]ν θελόντων , on this account (viz. my having been brought up well) I hope to be quickly promoted, if the gods will : cf. OGIS 139 .10 (ii/B.C.) ἐκ τοῦ τοιούτου συμβαίνει ἐλαττοῦσθαι τὸ ἱερόν . See also such passages as P Tebt I. 23 .8 ( c. B.C. 119 or 114) οὐκ ὀρθῶς κρίνομεν πέπρακταί σοι μὴ ἐκ τῆς ἡμῶν προεδρίας πεφροντικέναι ἀπροσδέητον ἑτέρων γενέσθαι , I consider that you have acted badly in not having been careful that he should be independent of others owing to my superior rank (Edd.), ib. 24 .39 (B.C. 117) ἔκ τε τῆς πλείστης προσεδρείας , on account of the prolonged attendance (Edd.), and P Fay 12 .15 ( c. B.C. 103) ἐκ κοινολογ [ί ]α [ς ] τ [ῆ ]ς συνσταθείσης πρὸς αὐτούς , as the result of the colloquy which took place between us (Edd.). From this it is an easy transition to the meaning according to or in accordance with, as in the common legal phrase καθάπερ ἐγ δίκης , as if in accordance with a legal decision, i.e. as if a formal decree of the court had been obtained, as in P Eleph 1 .12 (B.C. 311 0) (= Selections , p. 3), P Ryl II. 154 .35 (A.D. 66) : cf. P Petr III. 26 .9 ἐκ κρίσεως , OGIS 48 .12 (iii/B.C.) κολάζοντ ]ε [ς τοῖς ] ἐκ τῶν νόμων ἐπιτίμοις . So in the land-survey P Tebt I. 60 .85 (B.C. 118) we hear of land let at a certain sum ἐκ τῆς ἀξίας , in proportion to its value : cf. the similar document ib. 61 ( b ) .80 (B.C. 118) ἐξ ἐπισκέψεως , as the result of inspection. In the interesting report of a lawsuit, which resembles so much the judgment of Solomon, the parentage of the child is decided ἐκ τῆς ὄψεως , from its features (P Oxy I. 37 ii. 3 A.D. 49 = Selections , p. 51) : cf. Joh_7:24 μὴ κρίνετε κατ᾽ ὄψιν . See also P Tebt II. 284 .10 (i/B.C.) ἐ̣ξ εὐτυχι̣α̣ς̤ by good fortune, ib. 298 .45 (A.D. 107 8) ἀπὸ τῶν ἐξ εὐ [σεβ (είας ) δι ]δομέν [ω ]ν̣ ἡ [μῖν ], from pious gifts to us (Edd.). The preposition is used of material , as in Mat_27:29 , Rev_18:12 , in P Magd 42 .5 (B.C. 221) περιτραχηλίδιον ἐκ καθορμίων λιθινῶν , a necklace made of strings of stones, P Oxy IV. 707 .28 ( c. A.D. 136) τροχὸν ἐκ καινῆς ἐξ ὀ [πτῆς ] πλίνθου , a new wheel of baked brick, and OGIS 194 .28 (B.C. 42) where reference is made to a statue ἐκ σκληροῦ λίθου . For measure see P Oxy I. 43 iii. 27 (A.D. 295) ἔσχον παρὰ σοῦ κοφίνους δέκα δύο ἐκ λιτρῶν τεσσαράκοντα . A certain instrumental force underlies the use of ἐκ in such a passage as P Oxy III. 486 .28 (A.D. 131) ἐγὼ δὲ ἔκτοτε ἐκ τῆς τοῦ ἐπιστρατήγου ἐπιστολῆ [ς ] . . ἐνθάδε κατήντησα , I thereupon in consequence of the letter of the epistrategus presented myself here, and ib. .32 τὰ ἐμὰ πάν [τα ] ἐκ τῆς ὑπερβαροῦς ἀνα [βάσ ]ε̣ως τοῦ ἱερωτάτου Νίλου ἀπολωλένα [ι , that all my property has been lost through the excessive rise of the most sacred Nile (Edd.). See also Rossberg s exx. (p. 25 f.) of the preposition with verbs of buying and selling, as P Tebt I. 5 .80 (B.C. 118) τὰς ἠγορασμένας προφητείας . . εἰς τὰ ἱερὰ ἐκ τῶν ἱερῶν προσόδων̣ = with money from the temple revenues : cf. Luk_16:9 . For ἐκ to denote price , as in Mat_20:2 (cf. the simple gen. in .13 ), Act_1:18 , we may cite P Oxy IV. 745 .2 ( c . A.D. 1) τ [ὸ ]ν̣ δὲ οἶνον ἠγόρασας ἐκ (δραχμῶν ) ἕξ , you bought the wine at six drachmae, P Fay 111 .16 (A.D. 95 6) λέγουσι εἶναι τὼ λώτινον ἐν τῇ Διονυσιά [δι ] ἐγ (δραχμῶν ) ῑη̄ , so ib. 119 .5 ( c. A.D. 100), ib. 131 .5 (iii/iv A.D.) ποίησον αὐτὰς πραθῆναι ἐκ (δραχμῶν ) ῑδ̄ , and BGU III. 916 .19 (i/A.D.) τὸν φόρον ἀπὸ μὲν μην [ὸς ] Φαῶφι ἕω [ς μηνὸς Μεχεὶρ μηνῶν ] πέντε ἐγ δραχμῶν τριάκοντα . See also P Petr II. II (2) .4 where Polycrates informs his father that he has just had his garden valued at 17½, instead of 30, drachmae, in order that he may pay the 5 per cent. tax (due to the State) on the smaller valuation ἵνα ἐκ τοσούτου φέρωμεν τὴν εἰκοστήν , and P Lond 277 .9 (A.D. 23) (= II. p. 217) the record of a loan on which interest is charged at the rate of a drachma per mina per month το̣κου ὡς ἐκ δραχμῆ ( l. ῆς ) μιᾶς τῇ μνᾷ τὸν μῆνα ἕκαστον , and P Gen I. 42 .28 (A.D. 224) ἐ ]πὶ τοῦ πάντες διδόντος ( l. διδόναι ) ἕκαστος ἐκ δραχμῶν εἴκοσι τοῖς [γ ]εναμένοις πραισβοίτεροι ( l. πρεσβυτέροις ), where the editor notes that ἐκ δραχμῶν is distributive. Partitive ἐκ may be illustrated from P Tor I. 1 iv. 20 (B.C. 117 6) μέρος ἐγ νόμου , and P Oxy I. 117 .15 (ii/iii A.D.) ῥάκη δύο . . . ἐξ ὧν δώσεις τοῖς παιδίοις σου ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν , two strips of cloth, one of which please give to your children (Edd.). Cf. also P Grenf II. 73 .13 (late iii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 118) καὶ [τ ]αύτην παραδέδωκα τοῖς καλοῖς καὶ πιστοῖς ἐξ αὐτῶν τῶν νεκροτάφων εἰς τήρησιν . For the preposition in connexion with time , see PSI IV. 403 .20 (iii/B.C.) παρέσομαι δὲ κἀγὼ εὐθὺς ἐξ ἑορτῆς , where the editor renders the last words subito finita che sia la festa. The preposition is common in adverbial phrases of time , as P Tebt I. 40 .20 (B.C. 117) κατακολουθεῖν τοῖς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐθισμοῖς , to follow the ancient customs. With 2Pe_2:8 ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας (cf. LXX Psa. 96꞉ 2 [MT Psa_97:2 ] cf. P Oxy I. 86 .15 (A.D. 338) οὗτο ]ς δὲ μίαν ἐκ μιᾶς ὑπερτιθέμεν [ο ]ς , putting it off day after day. For other adverbial phrases with ἐκ see P Grenf II. 36 .12 (B.C. 95) οὐθὲν ἡμῖν κακὸν ἐποίησεν ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τῶν ἐναντίων ἐπιμεμέληται , where ἐκ τῶν ἐναντίων equals ἐναντίον , contra , P Ryl II.233 .6 (ii/A.D.) τὰ μέλαθρα τῶν θυρίδων . . ἐκ μέρους . . ἡρμολόγηται , the beams of the windows have been partly fixed (Edd.), cf. 1Co_12:27 ; 1Co_13:9 , P Hib I. 73 .14 (B.C. 243 2) ἐγ μέσου ἀ̣[φήιρηκεν αὐτόν , has removed it ( sc. a donkey) from my reach (Edd.), P Lond 1178 .43 (A.D. 194) (= III. p. 217, Selections , p. 100) ἐν ]τάγιον πᾶν ἐκ πλήρους δηνάρια ἑκατόν , a fee amounting altogether to a hundred denarii, CPR I 11 .14 (A.D. 108) καθὼς ἐκ συμφώνου (as in 1Co_7:5 ) ὑπηγόρευον , P Hib I. 54 .3 ( c. B.C. 245) ἀπό [σ ]τειλον ἡμῖν ἐκ παντὸς τρόπου τὸν αὐλητήν , make every effort to send me the flute-player, P Tebt I. 27 .60 (B.C. 113) ὅπως καὶ τἆλ [λα γέν ]ηται κατὰ θερείαν ἐξ ὑγιοῦς , that all else is rightly done in the summer (Edd.), P Hib I. 52 .10 ( c. B.C. 245) ὅπως μηθὲν δι [ά ]πτωμα ἐξ ὑστέρου γίνη [ται , in order that there may be no subsequent loss (Edd.), and P Oxy IV. 707 .27 ( c. A.D. 136) ἐκ καινῆς ( sc. ἀρχῆς ). In MGr ἐκ has been supplanted by ἀπό and ἔξω , though it lives an obscure life as a prefix in such words as βγαίνω , γδέρνω , ξεγράφω , ξέσκεπος .
