A positive integer m will be
called a finitistic order for an element γ of a group Γ if there exist a finite group G
and a homomorphism h : Γ → G such that h(γ) has order m in G. It is
shown that up to conjugacy, all but finitely many elements of a given finitely
generated, torsion-free Kleinian group admit a given integer m > 2 as a finitistic
order.
