ἐπάνω is common with reference to something already mentioned, e.g. P Oxy III. 502.54 (A.D. 164) μεμίσθωκα σὺν τοῖς ἐπάνω τὰς ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ κέλλας, ";I have leased together with the above-mentioned premises the chambers in the court"; (Edd.), BGU IV. 1046 ii. 7 (ii/A.D.) ὁ αὐτὸς ἐπάνω γενόμ (ενος) καὶ σιτολ (όγος), P Hamb I. 12.17 (A.D. 209–10) ὑπὸ τῶν ἐπάνω πρεσβ (υτέρων) : cf. P Oxy VII. 1032.34 (A.D. 162) ὡς ἐ ̣π ̣άνω δηλο ̣υ ̣̑ται, ";as stated above."; In connexion with time the phrase οἱ ἐπάνω χρόνοι, ";the former times,"; is often met : e.g. in P Hib I. 96.6, .23 (B.C. 259), P Oxy II. 268.17 (A.D. 58) ib. 237viii. 38 (A.D .186), P Tebt II. 397.17 (A.D. 198). For the use of ἐπάνω as an ";improper"; preposition (= ";above,"; ";over";) cf. P Oxy III. 495.8 (A.D. 181–9) ἐ ]ν. . . κέλλῃ τῇ ἐπάνω τοῦ πυλῶνος, P Leid W vii. 19 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐὰν θέλῃς ἐπάνω κορκοδείλου (l. κροκο - by metathesis) διαβαίνειν, P Flor I. 50.32 (A.D. 268) ἐπάνω λίμνης, and see Thumb in ThLZ xxviii. p. 422 for the survival of this usage in MGr ἐπάνω, ἐπάνω᾽ς, ἀπάνω. It may be added that ἐπάνω changed out of ἐπάνου is found in an ancient ";curse"; strongly tinged with Jewish influences—Wünsch AF 3.24 (Carthage—Imperial time) (ἔ)τι ἐξορκίζω ὑμᾶς κατὰ τοῦ ἐπάν (ω) τοῦ οὐρανοῦ θεοῦ : cf Isaiah 14:13. For ἐπάνωθεν, not found in the NT, but frequent in the LXX, see BGU IV. 1198.7 (B.C. 4).
