Abstract
A positive integer will be called a {\it finitistic order} for an element of a group if there exist a finite group and a homomorphism such that has order in . 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 as a finitistic order.

21 pp. I have largely rewritten Section 2 in order to correct the statement of Proposition 2.7. The original statement was not logically clear, and was not well adapted to an application in the more recent paper [22]
