Consider a $1$-parameter family of timelike geodesics $x_s(\tau)$, where $s$ labels each geodesic in the family whilst $\tau$ is an affine parameter along each $x(\tau)$. Then the vector field $\xi≡\partial/\partial s$ is tangent to curves of constant $\tau$ and is interpreted as a deviation vector between neighboring geodesics. In 't Hooft's GR notes (page $23$) he introduces the the deviation $ \delta \xi^\alpha$:
$$ \delta \xi^\alpha = \oint d \tau \frac{d \xi^\alpha(x(\tau))}{ d \tau} = \frac{1}{2}(\oint x^\beta \frac{d x^\lambda}{d \tau} d \tau) R^\alpha_{\beta \kappa \lambda} \xi_\kappa $$
where $R^\alpha_{\beta \kappa \lambda}$ is the Riemann tensor. Now, I ask the same question but going around a loop of $s$:
$$ \tilde \delta \xi^\alpha = \oint d s \frac{d \xi^\alpha(x(\tau))}{ d s} = ?$$
