For δεύτερον = ";in the second place,"; as in 1 Corinthians 12:28, cf. P Tebt I. 56.10 (late ii/B.C.) καλῶς οὖν ποήσῃς εὐχαριστῆσαι πρῶτον μὲν τοῖς θεοῖς δεύτερον δὲ σῶσαι ψυχὰς πολλάς κτλ ., ";please therefore in the first place to give thanks [?—see s. v. εὐχαριστέω ] to the gods and secondly to save many lives, etc."; (Edd.) In P Tebt II. 297.19 (c. A.D. 123) we find ἐγ δευτέρου = ";a second time,"; as in Mark 14:72 al. OGIS 299.17 (c. B.C. 170) τῆι δεύτερον ἡμέραι is defended by Kaibel ap. Dittenberger in loc., appealing to IMAe I. 155.28 τᾶι δεύτερον ἁμέραι μετὰ τὰ ἱερά , and the analogy of τῷ ὕστερον ἔτει and ἡ σήμερον ἡμέρα . In MGr δευτέρα is ";Monday"; (ἡ δεύτερη = 2nd, fem. of δεύτερος and sharing its accent).
