Vocabulary of the Greek NT

originally a gen. of place (Proleg. p. 73), is seen = ";where?"; in P Fay 119.17 (c. A.D. 100) τ ]η ̣̣ν διαγραφὴν τοῦ χόρτου ποῦ τέθικας; ";where did you put the notice of payment for the hay?"; (Edd.), and P Oxy XIV. 1671.22 (iii/A.D.) περὶ τῶν ποταμειτῶν. . . γράψον μοι ὅτι πο ̣ῦ εὑρίσκομεν, ";as regards the river-workers write me where we may find them.";

For ποῦ = ποῖ, as in John 7:35; John 8:14, cf. Epict. i. 27. 9 ποῦ φύγω τὸν θάνατον; and the late Greek citations collected by Maidhof Begriffsbestimmung p. 298 ff., e.g. Ausgewählte Märtyrerakten (ed. Knopf, 1901) 18. 7 ποῦ συνέρχεσθε ἢ εἰς ποῖον τόπον ἀθροίζεις τοὺς μαθητάς σου; In MGr besides ";where?";, ποῦ as the usual relative means ";who,"; ";which,"; and also ";so that.";
