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?

EN CRISTWI
