Galatians 3:20 (cf.
Winer's Grammar, 593 (551)),

οὐδείς):
ἐν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ πεσεῖται,
Matthew 10:29; besides,
Matthew 5:18;
Luke 11:46;
Luke 12:6; this usage is not only Hebraistic (as that language has no particular word to express the notion of
none), but also Greek (
Aristophanes ecclesiastical 153: thesm. 549;
Xenophon, an. 5, 6, 12;
Dionysius Halicarnassus, verb. comp. 18, etc.), cf.
Winers Grammar, 172 (163); (

τό ἐν καί τό αὐτό.
1 Corinthians 12:11;
ἐν καί τό αὐτό τίνι,
1 Corinthians 11:5.
3. the numerical force of
εἰς is often so weakened that it hardly differs from the indefinite pronoun
τίς, or from our indefinite article (
Winers Grammar, 117 (111) (cf. 29 note 2;
Buttmann, 85 (74))):
Matthew 8:19 εἰς γραμματεύς);
Matt 19:16;
26:69;
John 6:9 (
παιδάριον ἐν, where
T Tr WH omit and
L brackets
ἐν);
Revelation 8:13;
Revelation 9:13 (
Aristophanes av. 1292;
Xenophon, mem. 3, 3, 12;

c. a solecism, common in later Greek (cf.

Buttmann, 30f (26f); Fritzsche on Mark, p. 613f; (
Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word
καθεῖς)), is
καθ' εἰς, and in combination
καθεῖς (so that either
κατά is used adverbially, or
εἰς as indeclinablc):
ὁ καθ' εἰς, equivalent to
εἰς ἕκαστος,
Romans 12:5 (where
L T Tr WH τό καθ',
as respects each one, severally; cf. what is said against this reading by Fritzsche, commentary, iii., p. 44f, and in its favor by Meyer); with a partitive genitive 3Macc. 5:84;
