ἕνεκα / ἕνεκεν / εἵνεκεν [page 213] For ἕνεκα which is found only quater in the NT ( Mat_19:5 , Luk_6:22 , Act_19:32 ; Act_26:21 ), cf. P Lond 42 .14 (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections , p. 10) ἕ [νε ]κα τοῦ ἐκ τοῦ το [ιού ]του καιροῦ ἐμαυτή [ν ] τε καὶ τὸ παιδί [ον σ ]ου διακεκυβερνηκυῖα , P Oxy X. 1293 .16 f. (A.D. 117 38) τοῦτο οὐχ ἕνεκα ἡμῶν ποιῶ ἀλλὰ ἕνεκα τῶν καμηλειτῶν , ib. III. 533 .25 (ii/iii A.D.) ἕνεκα τῆς προσόδου , about the revenue. The form ἕνεκεν , which prevails from iii/B.C. onwards, and is probably Ionic in origin (cf. Thumb Hellen. p. 57), may be illustrated from P Petr III. 36( a ) verso .27 (iii/B.C.) τῆς Διοφάνου [ς οὖν ἀ ]κ̣ρ̣ι̣βείας ἕνεκεν ἀπήχθην , P Flor II. 158 .3 (iii/A.D.) ἕνεκεν [ἀνα ]γκαίας χρείας , ib. 163 .5 (iii/A.D.) ἕνεκεν ὑμῶν φρόντισον , P Meyer 23 .4 (end iv/A.D.) ἕνεκεν ἀργυρίου , and before a consonant in the late P Oxy VI. 902 .12 ( c. A.D. 465) εἰς τελείαν γὰρ ἀνατροπὴν . . . περιέστην ἕνεκεν τοῦ προειρημένου πολιτευομένου , I have been reduced to complete ruin through the aforesaid member of the council (Edd.), ib. 943 .3 (vi/A.D.) ἀπελθεῖν εἰς δίαιταν ἕνεκεν τοῦ λου̣τροῦ , to come to arbitration with respect to the bath. In all these instances ἕνεκεν precedes the subst., as generally in the NT : cf. Blass-Debrunner Gr . § 216. I. On a corresponding usage in the Attic inscrr. see Meisterhans Gr. p. 217 where it is stated that in ii/B.C. the relation of ἕνεκα : ἕνεκεν = 4 : 22 : cf. also Thieme p. 8, and Rouffiac Recherches , p. 22. For the forms οὕνεκα , εν , see P Petr II. 19 (1 a ) .2 οὕνεκα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ καλῶς ἔχοντος , in the name of God and of fair play (Ed.), P Hib I. 170 (B.C. 247) τούτου γὰρ οὕνεκεν πρὸ πολλοῦ σοι γράφω , and for εἵνεκεν , as in Luk_4:18 , Act_28:20 , cf. Preisigke 1568 (time of Euergetes II., B.C. 145 116) εὐνοίας εἵνεκεν τῆς πρὸς αὑτούς , P Giss I. 40 ii. 21 (A.D. 212 5) κατάγειν θυσίας εἵνεκεν ταύρους καὶ ἄλλα τινὰ ὲ̣ν̣ψ̣[υ ]χα : the form εἵνεκα occurs in an epigram regarding Homer s birthplace, Ostr 1148 .4 (ii/B.C.) Εἵνεκ᾽ ἐμῆς δόξης φ [ασὶ ] τεκεῖν με πόλεις .

ἕνεκα or -κεν prep. with gen., mostly after its case, Il. , etc.: "on account of, for the sake of, because of, for", Lat. gratia, id=Il. , etc. "as far as regards, as for", ἐμοῦ γε ἕνεκα "as far as depends on" me, Ar. ; εἵνεκέν γε χρημάτων Hdt. , etc. pleon., ἀμφὶ σοὔνεκα Soph. ; ὅσον ἀπὸ βοῆς ἕνεκα "as far as" shouting "went", Thuc. as Conjunct., for οὕνεκα, "because", Hhymn.
