Dear Nina, Everett and friends,

thanks again. There is still one point I am not sure:
does the suffix "-ika" mean something in atthi-ika?

metta,

The eternity belief (saasata di.t.thi), also concerns this life, I
think, not just future becoming. Atthi: it exists. Is it belief in a
soul in this life which continues after death. But there are many
variations in this belief, see Co to Brahmajaalasutta. It is not easy
to find a good translation.
