Hi!
  Galatians 2:1...
EPEITA DIA DEKATESSARWN ETWN PALIN ANEBHN EIS hIEROSOLUMA META BARNABA, 
SUMPARALABWN KAI TITON.
  I wouldn't have a problem with this, but all of the translations I've 
seen except one (I've only got five) translate 'DIA DEKATESSARWN ETWN' 
as 'after fourteen years'. Can DIA+genitive have a meaning 'after' (I 
would expect META+accusative)?
  Doesn't it rather indicate the time during which the action took place, 
probably repeatedly?
