34 Wim Hendriks has already been expressed in the sentence”.32 In view of this meaning, it should be stated that εὐθέωσ = straight corresponds with the preceding ὀρθόσ = straight. The adverb εὐθέωσ qualifies the notion of ἀνά: straight up. By contrast παραχρῆμα is unambiguously an adverb of time qualify- ing (ἀν)ἥλατο, immediately he sprang (up). This means that the usual supposition that this is a pleonasm is incorrect. 7. Conclusion It is necessary to read many Greek authors, especially from the Hel- lenistic and Roman periods, in order to uncover both the function and meaning of the adverbs εὐθύ, εὐθύσ, and εὐθέωσ, before saying something about their function and meaning in the NT.33 The present article shows that εὐθέωσ is primarily an adverb of quality.34 Secondarily εὐθέωσ can be an adverb of time. The temporal εὐθέωσ is the commoner form in later Greek (including the NT period) as compared with Attic and Atticistic temporal εὐθύσ.35 Here are some examples in conclusion. Herodotus, Historiae V 92: ἰθέωσ δὴ μετὰ τὴν ἀγγελίην κήρυγμα ἐποιήσατο, immediately after the message he made a proclamation. Polybius, Historiae I 15.4: μετὰ τὴν μάχην εὐθέωσ ἐκλιπόντασ τὸν χάρακα διελεῖν σφᾶσ εἰσ τὰσ πόλεισ, (the Carthaginians) after the battle at once quitted their camp and distributed themselves among the towns.36 32 BDF § 484, and Rydbeck, Fachprosa, 173. However, the remark of D. Daube, The Sudden in the Scriptures [παραχρῆμα, εὐθύσ, εὐθέωσ] (Leiden 1964), 44 is nonsensical: “D.05 has clearly imported the adverbs from similar stories.” Likewise, 70: “An inferior (sic!) variant reads ‘and at once straightway (εὐθέωσ παραχρῆμα) he leaped up and walked’ – no doubt taking over both adverbs [of time] from other narratives of this type.” 33 For this approach see my forth­coming study ‘On εὐθύσ and εὐθέωσ in the New Testament’. 34 Concerning εὐθέως in Gal 1:15-17 and 3 John 14 see also Wim Hendriks, ‘Gefässe die des Töpfers Zuneigung wecken: Bemerkungen zu Römer 9,1-5 und 22-26' (forthcoming). 35 See LSJ sub verbo εὐθύσ: ad C: εὐθέωσ as regular adverb. For the given example from the later period [III BC] see the text referred to in note 13 (above under § 3.1). See likewise J.H. Moulton – G. Milligan, The Vocabulary of the Greek [New] Testament: illustrated from the papyri and other non-literary sour­ces (London 1949), sub verbo: “εὐθέωσ [is] the more common Hellenistic form for εὐθύσ and εὐθύ.” My own elaborate investigation confirms this. See W. Hendriks, On εὐθύσ and εὐθέωσ in the New Testament’ (being prepared). For different meanings of εὐθύσ in Mark see A. Izquierdo, ‘El uso polisémico de εὐθύσ en el evangelio según san Marcos’, Alpha Omega 2 (1999), 407-428. 36 While looking for the use of εὐθέωσ in Polybius, it became clear that it is not always easy to  ascertain its exact meaning. The notion of immediately in Polybios is normally expressed with παραχρῆμα, sometimes with αὐτίκα. However, εὐθέωσ offers different pos- sibilities: either rightly, or frankly, or at once.
