Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἔπειτα is used of time in OGIS 90.48 (the Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) νῦν τε καὶ εἰς τὸν ἔπειτα χρόνον. For a reference to order see P Giss I. 23.11 where, after referring to her prayers on behalf of her daughter, the writer proceeds — ἔπειτα δὲ χάρι (l. χάρις) τῷ θεω ̣ι κτλ. Similarly the word is contrasted with πρῶτον (cf. Hebrews 7:2) in P Oxy IX. 1217.5 (iii/A.D.) πρῶτον μὲν ἀσπαζομένη σ ̣[ε ], ἔπιτα εὐχομένη παρὰ πᾶσι θεοῖς κτλ. The form and meaning persist in MGr.
