Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

νυνί [page 431] The evidence of the papyri, so far as we have remarked it, confirms the equivalence of νυνί to νῦν in the NT (as Grimm notes) : cf. e.g. P Petr III. 42 H(8) f. .4 (iii/B.C.) νυνὶ [δὲ ἐν φόβωι ε ]ἰ̣μὶ οὐ μετρίωι , P Oxy III. 49O .5 (A.D. 124) Διονυσίῳ . . νυνεὶ ἀφήλικι , Dionysius now a minor, ib. 506 .25 (A.D. 143) τὸ πρὶν ἀμπελικοῦ κτήματος νυνεὶ δὲ χερσαμπέλ [ου , what was previously a vineyard but is now dry vine-land (Edd.), ib , VI. 908 .5 (A.D. 199) Σαραπίων . . νυνεὶ εὐθηνιάρχης τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως , Sarapion at present eutheniarch of the said city. The adverb is joined to a subst. (cf. Gal_4:25 al. ) in P Ryl II. 111 .4 (A.D. 161) τὴν νυνεὶ γυναῖ [κά μου .

Liddell-Scott-Jones — Greek-English Lexicon

τανῦν (tanun) — now. Included with: νῦν (for νυν, νυ, see infr. II), adverb now, both of the present moment, and of the present time generally, οἳ ν. βροτοί εἰσιν mortals of our day, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; so in Ionic dialect and Attic dialect, οἱ ν. [ἄνθρωποι] men of the present day, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ὁ ν. τρόπος, τὸ ν. βαρβαρικόν, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; Βοιωτοὶ οἱ ν.[Refs 5th c.BC+]the present, [LXX+5th c.BC+]; μέχρι ν. (variant{μ. τοῦ ν}.) [Refs 1st c.BC+]; τὰ νῦν simply, ={ν}., [NT+5th c.BC+]

2. of the immediate past, just now, but now, ν. Μενέλαος ἐνίκησεν [Refs 8th c.BC+]

3. of the future, presently, ν. αὖτ᾽ ἐγχείῃ πειρήσομαι [Refs 8th c.BC+]; compare νῦν δή, νυνί.

4. sometimes opposed to to what might have been under other circumstances, as it is (or was), as the case stands (or stood), as a matter offact, ν. δ᾽ ὁ μὲν ὣς ἀπόλωλε [Refs 8th c.BC+]; καὶ ν. even so, [Refs 5th c.BC+]

5. coupled with other Particles, τὰ ν. γε [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ν. δή, see entry : with other expressions of Time, ν... σήμερον, ν. ἡμέρη ἥδε, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ν. ἤδη henceforth, [Refs 5th c.BC+] (anapaest meter), etc.; ν... ἄρτι but now, [Refs 5th c.BC+]

II. enclitic (but see below) νυν, νυ. [νυ only Epic dialect, Boeotian dialect, and [Refs 4th c.AD+]; νῠν twice in [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ῠ [Refs 5th c.BC+], ῡ in Comedy texts [Refs 5th c.BC+]; both quantities in τοίνυν, which see]

II.1. rarely of Time, now, perhaps so used in [Refs 8th c.BC+]

II.2. in Epic dialect mostly as a particle of emphasis, ἧκε δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ Ἀργείοισι κακὸν βέλος· οἱ δέ νυ λαοὶ θνῇσκον [Refs 8th c.BC+]: frequently coupled with other Particles or Conjs., ἦ ῥά ν. [Refs]; ἐπεί νύ τοι[Refs]

II.3. in commands or entreaties, μή ν. μοι νεμεσήσετ᾽ [Refs] come now ![Refs 5th c.BC+]; so in Boeotian dialect, ν. ἔνθω [Refs 5th c.AD+]

II.4. in questions, τίς ν.; τί ν.; who, what, why now? [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ἦ νυ..; [Refs 8th c.BC+]; oxytone when ={δή}, Tyrannioap.Hdn.Gr.2.27; καθ᾽ ὁμαλισμόν or κατ᾽ ἔγκλισιν when=δή, [Refs 5th c.BC+]. In codices usually perispomenon in both senses, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; even νῠν is written νῦν in codices vett. [Refs 5th c.BC+] passim, also in [Refs 5th c.BC+]; hence νυν may frequently be restored where the sense requires it. The accent of τοίνῡ?~Xν perhaps shows that both νῠν and νῡν could be enclitic.—Position: in signf. I νῦν can occupy any position; in signf. II it prefers (like other enclitics, but also like{ἄν, δέ, γάρ}, etc.) the second place in the sentence, e.g. πρός νύν σε πατρός [Refs 5th c.BC+]; νυ (always enclitic) precedes other enclitics and allows only δέ to precede.] (Cf. Sanskrit nú, n[umacracute], nūnám, O[Refs 5th c.BC+] nū 'now', etc.)
