Meaning what hour of the day is it? For they used to ask about hours, not seasons. But the correlative [is] o(phni/ka "[what time (you ask)?] a little after noon."[1] But the [expression] phni/k' a)/tt' a)pw/leto ["about when did he perish?"][2] [is] not Attic, nor archaic, nor accurate. It is instead of po/te dh=ta ["when indeed?"]; for the a)/tta is superfluous; for it occurs without reason, for it signifies neither tina/ ["some"] nor a(/tina ["whatever"].[3] For neither of these fits with o(ph/nika.
