{Having no more any place in these regions} (m(886b)eti topon
ech(936e) en tois klimasin). Surprising frankness that the average
preacher would hardly use on such a matter. Paul is now free to
come to Rome because there is no demand for him where he is. For
klima (from klin(935c), to incline), slope, then tract of land,
region, see already 2Co 11:10 Ga 1:21 (the only N.T.
examples). {A longing} (epipotheian). A _hapax legomenon_,
elsewhere epipoth(8873)is ( 2Co 7:7,11 ), from epipothe(935c) as in
Ro 1:11 . {These many years} (apo hikan(936e) et(936e)). "From
considerable years." So B C, but Aleph A D have poll(936e), "from
many years."
