Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
χρυσόλιθος τῆς ἐνεστώσης ἡμέρας, ‘‘for the past down to the present day.” For the conjunction of χρόνος and καιρός as in Ac 17, I Thess 5}, cf. P I.ond 427° (B.c. 168) (=I. p. 30, UPZi. 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 ye τοσούτον χρόνου ἐπιγεγονότος Kal 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 Rhezn. Museum NF. lix. (1904), p. 233 ff., and E. Curtius Gesch. Abhandiungen il, p. 187 ff.
