Exegesis
The subordinate temporal clause prin ē dis alektora phōnēsai {πρὶν ἢ δὶς ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι | prìn ḕ dìs a-lék-to-ra phō-nê-sai} uses prin with the conjunction ē plus an aorist infinitive to mark a limit point “before a rooster has crowed twice,” with dis and tris {τρίς | trís} adding numerical specificity to both the crowing and the denials.
In context — Mark 14:30
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that you, today, in this very night, before a rooster crows twice, will deny Me three times.”
