Λογίζομαι with εις

Greek Koine and Biblical and Medieval Greek
1

Are there any other places outside the new testament where λογίζομαι is used with εις?
I’m looking at romans 4:5 and romans 9:8 in particular.
Λογίζεται η πίστις αυτού εις δικαιοσύνην,
Τα τέκνα της επαγγελίας λογίζεται εις σπέρμα.
Any other places outside the new testament, lxx or elsewhere?
Thank you.

It appears all the time in the Septuagint, which Romans quotes from. But I don’t see it earlier than that.

Here in the meaning „that I took into calculation“

Xenophon Cyropedie, 3.1.33 „χρηματα … εις αργυριον λογισθεντα“ a sum calculated in silver.

Maybe these expressions were the origin of the later use as „were considered as”.

Thank you both. I was able to consult hatch and redpath. The dative acts similar to εις. I read somewhere that λογιζομαι can overlap in function like Έιμι or γιγνομαι with the nominative subject and the predicate nominative.
