Vocabulary of the Greek NT

It may be well to illustrate some of the different constructions of this word. Thus it is construed with the ind. in P Goodspeed 3.9 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 47) ἡνίκα ἤμελλον κοιμηθῆναι, P Ryl II. 119.6 (A.D. 54–67) ἡνίκα ἦν δικαιοδότης, ib. 181.5 (c. A.D. 203–4) ἡνίκα περιῆν, P Oxy VI. 939.83 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 130) ἡνίκα ἐβαρεῖτο τῇ νόσῳ : with the conj. without ἄν in P Oxy 1. 68.21 (A.D. 131) ἡνίκα περιῇ, ";in her lifetime"; (Edd.) : and with the conj. with ἄν or ἐάν in ib. IO4.26 (A.D. 96) ἡνίκα ἐὰν ἀπαλλαγῇ τοῦ ἀνδρός, P Tebt II. 317.18 (A.D. 174–5) ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰς τὸν νομὸν παραγένηται, ";whenever he visits the nome"; (Edd.).
