Vocabulary of the Greek NT

To the examples of τὸ δεῖνα = ";by the way,"; ";by the bye,"; we may add an instance from the recently recovered Mimes of Herodas, I. 43 τὸ δεῖνα δὲ ἄγριος χειμὼν ἐ [ξ ε ] [δίης ἐνέπ ]εσε . Ὁ δεῖνα in the ordinary sense, = ";Mr X.,"; may be seen in the magic papyri where a formula is given into which any given name may be fitted : thus BGU IV. 1026xxiii. 20 δό ]ς μοι χάριν στ [ . . . ]ον πρὸς πᾶσαν ἀνθρωπίνην γε [ν ]ε ̣[ ]ν ̣ καὶ πάσας γυναῖκας , μάλιστα πρὸς τὴν (δεῖνα ). It is generally represented by a sign, as here. Cf. P Leid Wxxv. 20 (ii/iii A.D.) γυναικόνορφε (i.e. -μορφε ) θεά , δεσπότι (σελήνη ), ποίησον τὸ δ (εῖνα ) πρᾶγμα . MGr has ὁ δεῖνα (ς ), , τὸ δεῖνα (gen. τοῦ , τῆς δεῖνος ) = ";So-and-so,"; unchanged : see Thumb Handb. p. 98.
