Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tais hēmerais Lōt {ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ | en taîs hē-mé-rais Lṓt} ‘in the days of Lot’ uses the preposition en with the dative plural to specify a temporal sphere rather than a physical location, framing the time-period that is under comparison.
Root and etymology
Rooteta–mu–epsilon–rho

In context — Luke 17:28
