χρόνος [page 694] time, a time, a period : P Petr II 40 ( a ) .14 (iii/B.C.) ὀλίγος γὰρ χρόνος ὑμῖν ἐστιν , P Strass I. 74 .7 ff. (A.D. 126) τοῦ χρόνου πληρωθέντος οὐκέτι βούλομαι αὐτὰς ( sc. ἀρούρας ) γεωργεῖν ἀποδεδωκὼς πάντα̣ τ̣ὰ̣ ἐ̣κφόρια τῶν ἔμπρ̣[ο ]σθεν χρόνων , P Lond 1231 .10 (A.D. 144) ( = III. p. 109) τοῦ χρόνου τ̣ῆ̣ς̣ μι̣σ̣θώσεως πεπληροκότος , and P Oxy I. 101 .60 (A.D. 142) χρό (νος ) ὁ α (ὐτός ), the same date. For the acc. of duration of time, as in Mar. 2:19 al. , cf. P Petr II. 12 (3) 18 (B.C. 241) οὐ τὸν πλείω χρόνον καταφθαρησόμεθα , we shall no longer be harried, BGU IV. 1055 .30 (B.C. 30) τὸν μεμερισμένον αὐτῷ χρόνον , a common phrase in Alexandrian contracts : and for the instr. dat. of extension of time, as in Luk. 8:27; Luk. 8:29 al. (cf. Proleg. p. 75), cf. P Strass I. 22 .31 (iii/A.D.) οὐδεμίαν παρείσδυσιν ἔχεις , ἡ γὰ̣ρ̣ γ̣[υν ]ὴ̣ ἐν τῇ νομῇ γέγονεν̣ πολλῷ χρόνῳ , and the recurrent formula in private letters ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλοῖς χρόνοις , e.g. P Oxy VI. 936 .52 (iii/A.D.), ib. I. 112 .8 (iii/iv A.D.), and P Lond 417 .14 ( c. A.D. 346) ( = II. p. 299, Selections , p. 124). These last exx. show the approach to the MGr meaning year : cf. P Gen I. 50 .21 f. (iv/A.D.) ἐρρῶσθα [ί σε ] ὡς πλε̣ίστ [οι ]ς ἔτεσειν εὔχομαι , where ἔτεσιν takes the place of the usual χρόνοις , and the Christian inscr. JHS xxii. (1902), p. 369 f. (cited s.v. διχοτομέω ), in which the writer says of his wife τῇ συνζησάσᾳ μοι χρόνους ὀλίγους ἐπι [τ ]ίμως . For numerous exx. in late Greek of χρόνος = year, see Sophocles Lex. s.v.

For the conjunction of χρόνος and καιρός as in Act. 1:7, 1Th. 5:1, cf. P Lond 42 23 (B.C. 168) ( = I. p. 30, UPZ i. p. 300, Selections , p. 10), where a woman writes to her husband urging him to return home in view of the suffering through which she had passed, μὴ ὅτι γε τοσούτου χρόνου ἐπιγεγονότος καὶ τοιούτων καιρῶν , to say nothing of so long time having passed and such times! the two words bringing out respectively the period and the occurrences by which it was marked. See further s.v. καιρός , and to the reff. there add K. Dieterich Rhein. Museum N.F. lix. (1904), p. 233 ff., and E. Curtius Gesch. Abhandlungen ii. p. 187 ff.
