Exegesis
The genitive absolute anateilantos tou heliou {ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου | a-na-teí-lan-tos toû hē-lí-ou} functions as a circumstantial temporal clause “when the sun had risen,” which in English is rendered idiomatically as “at the rising of the sun” or captured by “At dawn.” The placement of these temporal markers around the verb emphasizes the immediacy and significance of the women’s approach.
In context — Mark 16:2
And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun .
