The first part of John 8:9 reads: hOI DE AKOUSANTES EXHRCONTO hEIS KAQ hEIS...
When I first read this I was thinking that KAQ can't be from KATTA because the second hEIS is in the nominative case. So I considered KAQA. My vocabulary guide says that there is only one occurrence of this word in the NT. Seeing that that is in Matth. 27:10 KAQ in John 8 can't be from KAQA. That brings me back to KATTA. Can someone tell me why the second hEIS in not in the dative or the accusative case?
If this is actually KATTA, then this use of the preposition is similar to John 1:16 where -we all received CARIN ANTI CARITOS-. where CARITOS is the object of the preposition and therefore in the genitive case. Am I missing something?
