Two Interesting Uses of EPI from the Septuagint

Exodus 2:14: ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν μὴ ἀνελεῗν με σὺ θέλεις ὃν τρόπον ἀνεῗλες ἐχθὲς τὸν Αἰγύπτιον ἐφοβήθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ εἶπεν εἰ οὕτως ἐμφανὲς γέγονεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο

Esther 8:2: ἔλαβεν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν δακτύλιον ὃν ἀφείλατο Αμαν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν Μαρδοχαίῳ καὶ κατέστησεν Εσθηρ Μαρδοχαῗον ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν Αμαν

Cribbed from the Greek Lexicon of the Septuagint by J. Lust, E. Eynikel, and K. Hauspie (editors) although it lists the verse in Esther as "Esther 8:12e" if I remember correctly.
