"TOTE ERCETAI MET' AUTWN hO IHSOUS EIS CWRION LEGOMENON GEQSHMANI KAI LEGEI TOIS MAQHTAIS, KAQISATE AUTOU hEWS [hOU] APELQWN EKEI PROSEUXWMAI" (Matthew 26:36).

Regarding the meaning of "AUTOU" as 'here' (in Mark 14:32 = hWDE), although it seems to be a perfectly good adverbial use of "AUTOU", it also seems a fairly rare use in the New Testament; there are a few instances in Acts (15:34; 18:19; 21:4). Are there other instances of this use in the New Testament? What about in other works outside the New Testament?
