I think this is a trick question. The inclusion of "human" as a
selection criteria makes it a question with a trap built in, the trap
is you cannot discuss it on b-greek. If you raise the question does
Paul's use of EN XRISTWi as a mystical state focus on the humanity of
Jesus you are doing christology which is a no-no in this forum.
I was able to find some examples of EN TWi DII (not human!) in
Proclus (5th c. AD) but even there Carl's question would come up, is
this a locative or is it insturmental and in reference to QEOS (not
human!) there is EN AUTW MESW in Dio Chrysostom (1st&2nd AD). None of
these meet the criteria Wayne set down so I will not bother to post
them.
