tev tev (as dev comes from dhv, mevn from mhvn, so tev from the adverb th'/, properly, as; (others ally it with kaiv, cf. Curtius, sections 27, 647; Vanicek, p. 95; Fick Part i., 32; Donaldson, New Crat. sec. 195)), a copulative enclitic particle (on the use of which cf. Hermann ad Vig., p. 833; Klotz ad Devar. II. 2, pp. 739ff); in the N. T. it occurs most frequently in the Acts, then in the Epistle to the Hebrews, somewhat rarely in the other books (in Matt. three or four times, in Mark once, viz. R G; in John's Gospel three times; nowhere in the Epistles to the Galatians, Thessalonians, or Colossians, nor in the Epistles of John and Peter; twice in text.
