Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

εἶτεν [page 189] To the exx. of this dialectic form, which in the NT is found only in Mar_4:28 ΰ B*L, add a Messenian inscr. of B.C. 91, dealing with the Mysteries, Michel 694 .30 ff. μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα αἱ παρθένοι αἱ ἱεραὶ . . . εἶτεν ἁ θοιναρμόστρια ( the lady president of the feast ) ἁ εἰς Δάματρος . . . εἶτεν ἁ ἱέρεα τᾶς Δάματρος κτλ ., and from the papyri P Leid W x. 9 (ii/iii A.D.) εἶτεν κατὰ πρόσθεσιν τῶν φωτῶν ὑψωθέντων κτλ . Dittenberger supplies the word in OGIS 237 .13 (end of iii/B.C.) corresponding to a preceding .12 πρῶτομ μέν , and cites Syll 540 .150 (B.C. 175 1), 653 .31 (B.C. 91). The word therefore can hardly now be described as very rare (Grimm-Thayer).
