I agree that there are difficulties understanding this EN as locative. In
recently researching the "EN + <a person>", I found that Zerwick proposes that
this Mark 1:23 usage is a semitism. However, Zerwick did not show how it was a
semitism.

Does anyone have information showing why or how this may be a semitism?

Sincerely,
Wes
