88 PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM
only actual meaning of onov must have been "where" in its broadest
sense 288.
3.1.2.1. Local sense. Even in Ancient Greek texts no difference is
made sometimes between "where" and "whereto". In the Koine this
difference has almost vanished: onot does not occur any longer in the
payri, nor in the NT. Some examples of onov instead of onot are Mt 8,19,
Jn 8,21, 22; 13,33, 36; 14,4, 5; 21,19; Apoc. 14,5 289 .
Examples where onov is employed instead of a prepositional phrase
are more frequent than before:

3.1.2.2. Sense involving occasion

f3annCwf-leOa (-w- = -6-), "for they have plunged us into a deep mire in
which we may die ... 292. The relat. adverb 015 is sometimes used as a
learned substitute of onov. The same applies to l1l0a.
Epict. I 15,7 Ovbév, lq;'Yj, rwv f-leyá)'wv aq;vw ytveTat, onov ye ovb' ó f36r(!Vç
O'iJbè av"ov, " ... why, not even does the bunch of grapes, or a fig" 293.
The adverb denotes a very loose and vague connection. In the following
instance its sense is clearer :
Id. 20,8 óeare ènt rov vOf-ltaf-laroç, 8nov bo"û nelvat neàç ijf-laç ...,
"... in which it is feIt that we have some interest ...".
Ep. Gol. 3,11 ... 8nov ov" lvt "E)')''Yjv "at' Iovbaioç ..., "... in which
case ...". Ro bertson finds that 8nov is almost personal here 294.
Clem., Ep. Gor. I 26,1 Méya "at Oavf-laaràv oVV VOf-ltCof-lev elvat, el ó

önov "at bt' oevéov bet"1IVatv ijf-lïv rà f-leya).ûov rfjç ènayyeMaç avroiJ;
This is a very free use: it must have a sense like "by means of which",
"in that way".
