Luke 24:1

τῇ δὲ μ. τ. σ.: the δὲ answers to the μὲν in the preceding clause (Luke 23:56) and carries the story on without any break. The T.R. properly prints the clause introduced by τῇ δὲ as part of the sentence beginning with καὶ τὸ μὲν, dividing the two clauses by a comma. ὄρθρου βαθέως (βαθέος, T. R., a correction), at deep dawn = very early. βαθέως is either an adverb or an unusual form of the genitive of βαθύς. This adjective is frequently used in reference to time. Thus Philo says that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea περὶ βαθὺν ὄρθρον. The end of the dawn was called ὄρθρος ἔσχατος, as in the line of Theocritus: ὄρνιχες τρίτον ἄρτι τὸν ἔσχατον ὄρθρον ἄειδον (Idyll xxiv., v., 63). ἀρώματα : the μύρα omitted for brevity.
