κἀκεῖ
kakeî
G2546 adverb
SILEX Entry
Definition
An adverb combining 'and' (καί) with 'there' (ἐκεῖ), meaning 'and there,' 'there also,' or 'likewise in that place.' It is used to connect or add another location or situation to a previously mentioned one, emphasizing inclusion or extension to an additional place or circumstance. The nuance can shift between simple addition ('and there') and inclusion/exclusion ('even there,' 'there also') depending on context.
Semantic Range
and there, there also, likewise in that place, even there
Root / Etymology
Formed by the crasis (contraction) of καί ('and, also, even') and ἐκεῖ ('there, in that place'). No attestation as an independent word outside of Greek formed compounds. Standard for Koine period.
Historical & Contextual Notes
κἀκεῖ appears primarily in Hellenistic and Koine Greek, including the New Testament, as a contracted adverb representing a conjunction and locative adverb. Its function is typically to connect clauses or sentences by adding a new location in narrative or argument. Used predominantly in narrative or expository discourse, particularly in contexts where multiple locations or situations are mentioned (as in Mark 1:38, 'Let us go elsewhere into the next towns... that I may preach there also [κἀκεῖ]'). In the Septuagint and earlier Greek, the uncontracted forms καὶ ἐκεῖ are found; κἀκεῖ is the typical contracted form in later (especially New Testament) texts.
Translation Consistency
κἀκεῖ primarily carries a locative force (‘and there’/‘there also’). Choosing “there” preserves the central idea of place and allows the coordinating ‘and/also’ nuance to be handled by surrounding words or affixes in the SIBI system. It matches the majority of attested renderings and is the most natural, typical English equivalent.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
from καί and ἐκεῖ; likewise in that place:--and there, there (thither) also.
