The Einstein 1916 Annalen der Physik paper is called "Die Grundlage der allgemeinen Relativitatstheorie", and appears translated as "The Foundations of the General Theory of Relativity" in the collection of papers: Einstein, A., Lorentz, H.A. Weyl, H. Minkowski, H. 1923. _The Principle of Relativity_. Translated by W. Perrett and G.B. Jeffery, with notes by A Sommerfield. Dover Books, 1952. This is from Einstein's 1916 paper, (Sc 5 "Contravariant and Covariant Four-Vectors", p. 122): Note on a Simplified Way of Writing the Expressions. ---A glance at the equations of this paragraph shows that there is always a summation with respect to the indices which occur twice under a sign of summation (e.g., the index \vu in (5)), and only with respect to the indices which occur twice. It is therefore possible, without loss of clearness, to omit the sign of summation. In its place we introduce the convention:---If an index occurs twice in one term of an expression, it is always to be summed unless the contrary is expressly stated. (Einstein 1916 (1952), p. 122)
