δήποτε,
indef. Adv. (better written δή ποτε), Ion. δήκοτε, Dor. δήποκα,
1. at some time, once upon a time, Od. 6.162, E. Supp. 1131 (lyr.); αἰεὶ δ. Th. 8.73; at length, A. Ag. 577.
2. εἰ δή ποτε if ever, Il. 1.40.
3. with interrog., τί δή ποτε; what in the world? what or why now? καίτοι τί δή ποτε; D. 4.35; πόσοι δή ποτ' εἰσὶν οἱ..; how many do you suppose? Id. 20.21.
4. esp. freq. with relatives, ὅτι δή κοτε πράξαντα Hdt. 6.134; ὅστις δ. ὤν Pl. Phdr. 273c; ὅτι δή ποτε whatever it may be, 'so-and-so', D. 21.32; ὁπόθεν δ. Id. 35.6: strengthd. by οὖν, ὅντινα δή ποτ' οὖν τρόπον Id. 40.8; οἷος δή ποτ' οὖν v.l. in Dsc. 5.10; also δή ποτ' οὖν without relat., κατὰ πρεσβείαν ἢ κατ' ἄλλην δ. χρείαν Arch.Pap. 6.9 (Delos).
δήποτε (from δή and πότε), adverb, now at length (jam aliquando); at any time; at last, etc., just exactly; (hence, it generalizes a relative, like the Latincumque; see Lob. ad Phryn., p. 373): ᾧ δήποτε νοσήματι, with whatsoever disease, John 5:4 (R G, but L ὁιωδηποτουν).
