Definition

Combination adverb meaning 'and from there,' denoting movement or transition from a referenced location (spatially or figuratively). Used to indicate that an action or transition follows from the previous place or event; may refer to sequential progression ('and then from there') or secondary movement/causal development.

Semantic Range

and from there, and from that place, and thence; then from there (temporal or sequence marker); marking movement or transition from one location, source, or point in narrative to the next

Root / Etymology

A crasis (contracted form) of καί ('and') and ἐκεῖθεν ('from there, thence'), literally meaning 'and from there.' Forms such as καὶ ἐκεῖθεν are sometimes found uncontracted in earlier Greek.

Historical & Contextual Notes

κἀκεῖθεν is a typical Koine and later Greek crasis, increasingly common in Hellenistic sources as linguistic trends favored contracted expressions. The form does not appear in classical Attic but is well attested in the LXX and New Testament. It retains a straightforward adverbial sense: linking a previous referent (usually a place, sometimes a figurative source) with what follows, marking narrative sequence or movement. English translations sometimes render κἀκεῖθεν as 'then, from there, and from that place,' but this can mask the connective (καί, 'and') which highlights continuity or sequence. In narrative contexts, often sets up the next stage of action. Related forms in Koine (κἀκεῖ, κακεῖθι) similarly exemplify the trend of crasis in Greek adverbial conjunctions.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from καί and ἐκεῖθεν; likewise from that place (or time):--and afterward (from) (thence), thence also.
