τὶς, neuter τὶ, genitive τίνος, indefinite (enclitic) pronoun (bearing the same relation to the interrogative τίς that ποῦ, πῶς, πότε do to the interrogatives ποῦ, πῶς, πότε); 1. a certain, a certain one; used of persons and things concerning which the writer either cannot or will not speak more particularly; a. joined to nouns substantive, as well as to adjectives and to numerals used substantively; as, Σαμαρείτης τίς, Luk_10:33; ἱερεύς, Luk_1:5; Luk_10:31; ἀνήρ, Luk_8:27; Act_3:2; Act_8:9; Act_14:8; ἄνθρωπος, Mat_18:12; Luk_10:30; Act_9:33; plural Jud_1:4; τόπος, Luk_11:1; Act_27:8; κώμη, Luk_10:38; Luk_17:12, and in many other passages; with proper names (as τάς Σίμων), Mar_15:21; Luk_23:26; Act_9:43; Act_21:16; Act_25:19. δύο τινες with a partitive genitive, Luk_7:18(19); Act_23:23; ἕτερος, Act_8:34; plural Act_27:1; it indicates that the thing with which it is connected belongs to a certain class and resembles it: ἀπαρχήν τινα, a kind of firstfuits, Jas_1:18, cf. Winer's Grammar, § 25, 2 a; joined to adjectives of quality and quantity, it requires us to conceive of their degree as the greatest possible; as, φοβερά τίς ἐκδοχή, a certain fearful expectation, Heb_10:27, where see Delitzsch (or Alford) (δεινή τίς δύναμις, Xenophon, mem. 1, 3, 12; other examples from the Greek writings are given in Winers Grammar, § 25, 2c.; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, A.

R G T Tr (cf. Winers Grammar, 169 (160); R. V. marginal reading which be the rudiments etc.; cf. c. below)) incorrectly read τινα (yet cf. Buttmann, 268 (230) note, cf. 260 (223) note)), etc.; cf. Matthiae, § 487, 2. εἰ τίς, see εἰ, III. 16; ἐάν τίς, τίνος, etc.: Mat_21:3; Mat_24:23; Mar_12:19; Luk_16:31; Joh_6:51; Joh_7:17; Joh_8:51; Joh_9:22; Joh_9:31; Joh_10:9; John 11:9 f, 57 ; Joh_12:26; Joh_12:47; Act_9:2 (here Tdf. ἄν); ; 1Co_5:11; 1Co_8:10; 1Co_10:28; Col_3:13; 1Ti_1:8; 2Ti_2:5; 2Ti_2:21; Jas_2:14; Jas_5:19; 1Jn_2:15; 1Jn_4:20; 1Jn_5:16; Rev_3:20; Rev_22:18 f; ἄν τινων, Joh_20:23 (here Lachmann ἐάν); ἐάν μή τίς, Joh_3:3; Joh_3:5; Joh_15:6; Act_8:31; οὐ ... τίς, not ... anyone, i. e. no one, Joh_10:28; οὔτε ... τίς, Act_28:21; οὐδέ ... τίς, Mat_11:27; Mat_12:19; οὐκ ... ὑπό τίνος, 1Co_6:12; μή τίς, lest any (man), Mat_24:4; Mar_13:5; Act_27:42; 1Co_1:15; 1Co_16:11; 2Co_8:20; 2Co_11:16; 2Co_12:6; Eph_2:9; 1Th_5:15; Heb_4:11; Heb_12:15; hath any (one), Joh_4:33 (cf. μήτις, 2); μή τινα, 2Co_12:17; πρός τό μή ... τινα, 1Th_2:9; ὥστε ... μή τινα, Mat_8:28; like the Latinaliquis, it is used with the verb εἶναι emphatically: to be somebody, i. e. somebody of importance, some eminent personage (Winers Grammar, § 25, 2 c.; Buttmann, § 127, 16), Act_5:36 (see examples from the Greek writings in Passow, under the word, B. II. 2 d.; (Liddell and Scott, ibid. A. II. 5); on the phrase τί εἶναι see e. β. below). Plural, τινες, some (of that number or class of men indicated by the context): Mar_14:4; Mar_14:65; Luk_21:5; Joh_13:29; τινες are distinguished from οἱ πάντες, 1Co_8:7; 1Co_9:22. τινες with an anarthrous participle, Mar_14:57; Luk_13:1; ταῦτα τινες ἦτε, such (of this sort) were some of you, 1Co_6:11 (cf. οὗτος, I. 2 d.); τινες with a partitive genitive, Mat_9:3; Mat_12:38; Mat_28:11; Mar_7:1; Mar_12:13; Luk_6:2; Luk_19:39; Act_5:15; Act_17:18; Act_17:28, and often; followed by ἐκ and a partitive genitive, Luk_11:15; Joh_6:64; Joh_7:25; Joh_7:44; Joh_9:16; Joh_11:37; Joh_11:46; Act_11:20; Act_15:24, etc.; Paul employs τινες by meiosis in reference to many, when he would mention something censurable respecting them in a mild way: Rom_3:3; 1Co_10:7-10. c. Sometimes the subject τίς, τινες, or the object τινα, τινας, is not added to the verb, but is left to be understood by the reader (cf. Buttmann, § 132, 6; (Winer's Grammar, §§ 58, 2; 64, 4)): before the partitive genitive Act_21:16; before ἀπό, Mat_27:9 (1Ma_7:33); before ἐκ, Mat_23:34; Luk_21:16; (Joh_1:24 T Tr WH (cf. R. V. marginal reading); L T Tr WH (cf. R. V. marginal reading)); ; (2Jn_1:4; Rev_2:10). (Other examples of its apparent omission are the following: as subject of a finite verb (Winer's Grammar, § 58, 9 b. β.; Buttmann, § 129, 19): φησί, 2Co_10:10 R G T Tr text WH text; ὅταν λαλῇ τό ψεῦδος, Joh_8:44 (according to one interpretation; see R. V. margin); of an infinitive: οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε γράφειν ὑμῖν, 1Th_4:9 R G T Tr text WH; χρείαν ἔχετε τοῦ διδάσκειν ὑμᾶς, τινα etc. Heb_5:12 R G T Tr (but see 2 b. above). as object: δός μοι πιεῖν, Joh_4:7; cf. Mar_5:43. See Kühner, § 352 g.; Krüger, § 55, 3, 21.) d. It stands in partitions: τίς ... ἕτερος δέ, one ... and another, 1Co_3:4; plural τινες (μέν) ... τινες (δέ), Luk_9:7 f.; Act_17:18; Php_1:15; cf. Passow, under the word, B. II. 2e.; (Liddell and Scott, ibid. A. II. 11. c.). e. Besides what has been already adduced, the following should be noticed respecting the use of the neuter τί; α. universally, anything, something: Mat_5:23; Mar_8:23; Luk_11:54; Act_25:5; Act_25:11; 1Co_10:31, and very often; οὐδέ ... τί, neither ... anything, 1Ti_6:7. β. like the Latinaliquid it is used emphatically, equivalent to something of consequence, something extraordinary (cf. b. above): in the phrase εἶναι τί, 1Co_3:7; Gal_2:6; Gal_6:3; cf. Passow, under the word, B. II. 2 d.; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, A. II. 5); and on the Latinaliquid esse see Klotz, Handwörterb. d. Latin Spr. 1:298b; (Harpers' Dictionary, under the word aliquis, II. C. 1) (on the other hand, in 1Co_10:19 τί εἶναι means to be anything, actually to exist); εἰδέναι (L T Tr WH ἐγνωκέναι) τί, i. e. much, 1Co_8:2. 3. As respects the position of the word, when used adjectivally it stands now before its noun (τίς ἀνήρ, Act_3:2; Act_14:8; τίς μαθητής, Act_9:10; τινας ἑτέρους, Act_27:1; τί ἀγαθόν, Joh_1:47); now, and indeed far more frequently, after it, as ἱερεύς τίς, Luk_1:5; Luk_10:31; ἀνήρ τίς, Luk_8:27, etc., etc. Τίνες, used substantively, is found at the beginning of a sentence in Mat_27:47; Luk_6:2; Joh_13:29; 1Ti_5:24; Php_1:15; cf. Winer's Grammar, § 25, 2 Note, and 559 (520). The particle δέ may stand between it and its substantive (as Σαμαρείτης δέ τίς), as in Luk_10:33; Luk_10:38; Act_8:9; Heb_10:27.

τίς , τί [page 636] who? what? (1) Exx. of this common interrog. pron. are P Petr II. 40a .24 (iii/B.C.) γράψατέ μοι , τί [ς παρ᾽ ὑ ]μῖν τιμὴ ἐγένετο τοῦ σίτου , P Par 44 .4 (B.C. 153) τί κελεύε [ι ]ς ὑπὲρ τούτων ; BGU IV. 1078 .7 (A.D. 39) ὄψομαι , τί με δεῖ ποιεῖν , P Grenf I. 53 .33 (iv/A.D.) τίνος εὐγενό (= ε )στερός ἐστι ; and P Oxy I. 120 .2 (iv/A.D.) λοιπὸν τί σοι γράψω οὐκ οἶδα . (2) The use of τίς for ὅς , ὅστις , as in Mar_14:36 , Luk_17:8 , 1Ti_1:7 , and in LXX Gen_38:25 , Lev_21:17 , is fairly common in the papyri, e.g. BGU II. 665 iii. 13 (i/A.D.) ο ]ὐκ ἔχομεν δ̣ιὰ τίνες ( l . τίνος ) πέμπωμεν , P Oxy VIII. 1155 .13 (A.D. 104) αὐτὸ τὸ πρόγραμ <μ >α τοῦ ἡγεμόνος ἔπενψά σοι ἵνα ἐπίγοις πρὸς τί σοί ᾽στι , I send you the actual proclamation of the praefect in order that you may hasten to do what concerns you (Ed.), ib . 1119 .22 (A.D. 254) τίνα μοι ἐπέστειλαν , BGU III. 822 .5 (iii/A.D.) (cited s.v . ἑλκύω ), and P Lond 239 .10 ( c . A.D. 346) (= II. p. 297) τίνος ἐὰν χρίαν ἔχῃς . See also Mayser Gr. II. i. p. 80. (3) Occasionally τίς Is used in the NT = πότερος , of two only (e.g. Mat_21:31 ; Mat_27:17 , Luk_22:27 ). In the LXX it has completely displaced πότερος which, it may be noted, hardly occurs at all in the papyri (see Proleg . p. 77 n. .1 ). In MGr τίς , τίνος , τίνα are rare : in their place the invariable τί is used (Thumb Handb . § 152).
