The metaphorical expr. ἐπιστρέψαι ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous Lk 1:17 is striking but consistent w. the basic sense of ἐν.

    Cultural note: scuola Following the passage of the law on educational reform in 2003, Italian children go to "scuola dell'infanzia" for three years (age 3-6), after which they attend "scuola primaria" for five years (age 6-11). The first stage of education is then completed by three years of "scuola secondaria di primo grado" (age 11-14). For the second stage of their education, students can choose between various types of school and can specialize in various subjects.

Горький, Дело Артамоновых) — 'They play tricks on their teachers. Such a thing never entered my head, when the parish clerk was teaching me my letters at the end of a strap. Life seems to be easier now, for children.'
