This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 9:17. Ἐπὶ νεκροῖς, over [super] the dead) briefly expressed, instead of this expression, over or upon the death of the testators. So LXX. Lev 21:5, ἐπὶ νεκρῷ, over the dead [upon the death of a relative].-μήποτε) This particle plainly implies an interrogation;[51] moreover, ἐπεὶ, with an interrogation, has great force, Rom 3:6; 1Co 14:16; 1Co 15:29. See Not. ad Chrys. de Sacerd., p. 424.
[51] So Lachm. rightly has an interrogation marked at ὁ διαθέμενος;-ED.
