εἶτα [page 189] εἶτα is praised by Phrynichus (ed. Lobeck, p. 124) as against the barbarous εἶτεν , but it occurs frequently alike in the New Menander and in vernacular documents : see e.g. P Fay 12 .20 ( c. B.C. 103) ἐξέδυσαν ὃ περ [ιε ]βεβλήμην ἱμάτιον καὶ τοῦτο ἀπηλλάγησαν ἔχοντ [ες ἐ ]ξέντες γυμνόν . εἶθ᾽ οὕτω̣ς̣ με̣τ̣᾽ ἐνδύματος . . . ὑπὸ τῶν γνωρίμων κτλ . they stripped me of the garment I was wearing, and went off with it, sending me forth naked. Afterwards, a garment having been (supplied) by my friends, etc. (Edd.). BGU II. 665 .10 (i/A.D.) ἐ [γ ]ὼ τῷ πατρί μου γράψω τὸ μὲν πρῶτον περὶ τοῦ τοκετοῦ αὐτῆς τὸ ἀνανκαιότερον , εἶτα καὶ περὶ τῆς διαλλαγῆς , ib. IV. 1019 .4 (mid. ii/A.D.) πολλὰς καταστάσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν πεποίηται . Ε [ἶ ]τα καὶ ἐπὶ Νεοκύδην τὸν γενόμενον δικαιοδότην ἧκεν , and P Lond 1173 .6 (A.D. 125) (= III. p. 208) ἐπ [έτρε ]ψάς [μ ]οι διὰ λόγον μηκέτι κατερ [γάζεσθαι ] ε [ἶ ]τ̣α τὸ ἐμὲ δαπανῆσαι ἀπὸ τῆ [ς ] συμ [φ ]ωνίας ἧς ἐποίησας πρὸς τοὺς [ἐργά ]τας . These exx. confirm Hort s comment on Jas_1:15 that εἶτα , when historical . . . marks a fresh and distinct incident. This force is considerably weakened in the boy s letter to his father, P Oxy I. 119 .6 (ii/iii A.D.) (= Selections , p. 103), where the word hardly admits of translation οὐ μὴ γράψω σε ἐπιστολήν , οὔτε λαλῶ σε , οὔτε υἱγένω σε εἶτα , I won t write you a letter, or speak to you, or wish you health no more.
