Instances of the use of εως αν in the Greek Pseudepigrapha

  

And the Lord will bring captivity upon you, and there you will serve your enemies, and you will be bowed down with every affliction and tribulation until (εως αν) the Lord has consumed you all. (Testament of Naphtali 4:2)

Now this excited general surprise, for it is customary for those who come to seek an audience with the king on matters of importance to be admitted to his presence on the fifth day, while envoys from kings or very important cities with difficulty secure admission to the Court in thirty days -- but these men he counted worthy of greater honor, since he held their master in such high esteem, and so he immediately dismissed those whose presence he regarded as superfluous and continued walking about until (εως αν) they came in and he was able to welcome them. (Aristeas 1:175)

 

"After he said these things to me, he spoke to the serpent in great wrath, saying: 'Since you have done this, and become a thankless vessel, until (εως αν) you have deceived the innocent heart, accursed are you among all beasts. (Apocalypse of Moses 26:1)

 

For whener the people sinned, Jeremiah sprinkled dust upon his head and would pray on behalf of the people, until (εως αν) the sun was forgiven. (4 Baruch 2:3)

 

Jeremiah exhorted the angels, saying: "I exhort you not to destroy this city yet, until (εως αν) I should speak a word to the Lord." (4 Baruch 3:4)

 

The Lord spake to his angels, saying: "Do not destroy the city, until (εως αν) I should speak to my chosen one Jeremiah." (4 Baruch 3:5)

 

"And may Michael the archangel of righteousness, who opens the gates to the righteous be my mediation, until (εως αν) he should bring in the righteous. (4 Baruch 9:5)
