In Mt 15:5=Mk 7:11, N24 accents ὠφελήθης instead of ὠφεληθῇς (N.), giving us an example of ἐάν w. aor. ind., strongly supported by B-D-F §360, 1. This constr. is rare but occasionally found in the late κοινή (Rob. 1009).ⓒ w. other particlesα. ἐὰν καί even if Gal 6:1; likew. ἐὰν δὲ καί (POxy 472 II, 7) but if 1 Cor 7:11, 28; 2 Ti 2:5. ἐὰν δὲ καὶ παρακούσῃ but if the pers. refuses to listen Mt 18:17.β. ἐὰν μή if not, unless w. pres. subj. ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ ἀξία Mt 10:13; cp.

Also s. κἄν.② as conj., marker of the prospect of an action in a point of time coordinated with another point of time.
