Exegesis
The opening sequence ede hosei hora hekte {ἤδη ὡσεὶ ὥρα ἕκτη | ḗdē hōseí hṓra héktē} places the action at an approximate time, with hosei {ὡσεὶ | hōseí} softening the precision of the hour statement.
In context — Luke 23:44
And it was now about the sixth hour , and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
