OK, if you wish to consider EN EFESWi as the dative, what do you do with these?

Dear George,

EN EFESWi *is* the Dative in I Tim 1:3. It is completes the thought of
PROSMEINAI. It indicates where Timothy is to remain, IN EPHESUS.

Rev. Bryant J. Williams III

object in 4 of 5 occurences (omitting the passage under discussion).  The
one instance which lacks a dative object is in Acts 18.21 -- three verses
down the road from our passage.  It would take it that the dative object is
then supplied by the dative object of 18.18 which we just left (temporarily)
out of the discussion.  When Paul and others left they weren't waving
"bye-bye" to thin air.

There may be
