Exegesis
The temporal expressions are built with a dative article plus participle: tē epiouse {τῇ ἐπιούσῃ | tē e-pi-OU-sē}, tē hetera {τῇ ἑτέρᾳ | tē he-TE-rai}, and tē echomenē {τῇ ἐχομένῃ | tē e-kho-ME-nē}. Each marks successive days, producing a three-step sequence: ‘on the next day … and on the next … and on the one following.’
