Exegesis
Ton chronon {τὸν χρόνον | tòn khrónon} heads the object phrase, while tou phainomenou asteros {τοῦ φαινομένου ἀστέρος | toû phainomenou astéros} forms a genitive chain that ties the timing to the star by describing it as the star in the process of appearing. English renders this compact genitive structure more naturally by shifting it into a noun phrase or temporal clause about the star's appearance or first visibility.
Root and etymology
“Egypt”
In context — Matthew 2:7
Then Herod , in secret, arranged for the magi to come to him and pinned down from them the timing of the star's appearance.
