Notes:
The full headword phrase does not appear in either of the quotations given, which seem instead to illustrate temporal and/or figurative uses of its first word, the interrogative pronoun
poi= ('to where', 'whither', 'up to what point (in time)'. The headword phrase itself must be quoted from somewhere: extant possibilities begin with
Sophocles (
Electra 995),
Euripides (
Medea 359) and
Aristophanes (
Birds 1570).
