STRONGS G2193:
ἕως, a particle marking a limit, and I. as a conjunction signifying
1. the temporal terminus ad quem, till, until (Latin donee, usque dum); as in the best writings
a. with an preterite indicative, where something is spoken of which continued up to a certain time:
b. with ἄν and the aorist subjunctive (equivalent to the Latin future perfect), where it is left doubtful when that will take place till which it is said a thing will continue (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 42, 5): ἴσθι ἐκεῖ, ἕως ἄν εἴπω σοι,
c. more rarely used with the present indicative where the aorist subjunctive might have been expected (Winers Grammar, as above; Buttmann, 231 (199)): so four times ἕως ἔρχομαι,
d. once with the future indicative, according to an improbable reading in
2. as in Greek writings from Homer down, as long as, while, followed by the indicative in all tenses — in the N. T. only in the present: ἕως ἡμέρα ἐστιν,
II. By a usage chiefly later it gets the force of an adverb, Latin usque ad; and
1. used of a temporal terminus ad quem, until (unto);
a. like a preposition, with a genitive of time (Winers Grammar, § 54, 6; Buttmann, 319 (274)): ἕως αἰῶνος,
b. with the genitive of the neuter relative pronoun οὗ or ὅτου it gets the force of a conjunction, until, till (the time when);
α. ἕως οὗ (first in Herodotus 2, 143; but after that only in later authors, as Plutarch, et al. (Winers Grammar, 296 (278) note; Buttmann, 230f (199))): followed by the indicative,
β. ἕως ὅτου,
αα. until, till (the time when): followed by the indicative,
ββ. as long as, whilst (
c. before adverbs of time (rarely so in the earlier and more elegant writings, as ἕως ὀψέ, Thucydides 3, 108; (cf. Winers Grammar, § 54, 6 at the end; Buttmann, 320 (275))): ἕως ἄρτι, up to this time, until now (Vig. ed. Herm., p. 388),
2. according to a usage dating from Aristotle down, employed of the local terminus ad quem, unto, as far as, even to;
a. like a preposition, with a genitive of place (Winers Grammar, § 54, 6; Buttmann, 319 (274)): ἕως ᾅδου, ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
b. with adverbs of place (Winers Grammar, and Buttmann, as in c. above): ἕως ἄνω,
c. with prepositions: ἕως ἔξω τῆς πόλεως,
3. of the limit (terminus)of quantity; with an adverb of number: ἕως ἑπτάκις,
4. of the limit of measurement: ἕως ἡμίσους,
5. of the end or limit in acting and suffering: ἕως τούτου,
