Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐκεῖσε. P Thead 218 (A.D. 318) τίνες κακοῦργοι ἐπιστάντες ἐκεῖσε διὰ νυκτός κτλ., and a Cairo papyrus, Ολγεσί. I. 240° (A.D. 322) γενό[μ]ενοι ἐκεῖσε. For ἐκεῖσε -- ἐκεῖ, cf. PSI IIT. 1621! (A.D. 286) παραμεῖναι ἐν τῷ ἐκῖσαι (1. ἐκεῖσε) κατασκεναfopévw βαλανίῳ, 20. IV. 2985 (iv/a.D. ad init.) μόνον μῆνα ἕνα ἐκεῖσε διαμείναντος, P Oxy ΙΧ. 1204" (A.D. 299) πρὸς ἐκσφούνγευσιν (cf. Lat. expungere) τῶν ἐκεῖσε διακειμένων στρατιωτῶν, ‘for the discharge of the soldiers stationed there.’ This ‘‘ pregnant” construction (Ac 22° τοὺς ἐκεῖσε ὄντας, ‘those who were (collected) there”) is illustrated by P Petr 11. 45:1 (B.c. 246) where, if we may trust the restoration, the writer—probably Ptolemy III. himself (cf. P Petr III. p. 336)—describes how certain ships, acting in his interest, sailed along the coast of Cilicia to Soli and took on board τὰ é[ket ?]oe κατασκεθέντία χρή]ματα, ‘‘ the money that had been seized (and carried) there.
