This Ionic form for Attic τήμερον, ";today,"; may be illustrated by P Hib I. 65.13 (c. B.C. 265) οὐκ ἐξέ [στα ]ι σοι σήμερ [ον μετ ]ρ ̣ει ̣̑ν, P Oxy VIII, 1153.9 (i/A.D.) σήμερον γὰ [ρ ] παρεγένετο, ";for he was here to-day,"; P Fay 123.23 (c. A.D. 100) εἴρηχεν ἡμῖν σήμερ ̣ον, and P Oxy IX. 1216.9 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐνιαυτὸς σήμερον ἐκτὸς σοῦ ε ̣ἰμί, ";a year to-day I have been away from you"; (Ed.). The word is used more loosely in ib. VII. 1063.4 (ii/iii A.D.) σήμερ ̣ον ὅτε ἔδωκά σοι ὀνόματα τρία. . . τῇ ἑξῆς ἐμ [ο ]ῦ σου πυθομένου, ";the other day when I gave you three names . . the next day when I asked you"; (Ed.) : cf. Matthew 27:19. For ἡ σήμερον used as a subst. without ἡμέρα, as in Matthew 11:23 al., cf. BGU II. 589.6 (ii/A.D.) νυκτὶ καὶ (l. τῇ) φερούσῃ εἰς τὴν σήμερον, P Oxy I. 121.6 (iii/A.D.) ἤδη ἐν τῇ σήμερον περειορυγήτωσαν, ";let them be dug round to-day"; (Edd.), and P Ryl II. 114.19 (c. A.D. 280) μέχρι τῆς σήμε [ρον. For the full phrase, as in Acts 20:26, see the Jewish prayer for vengeance Syll 816 (= .3 1181).11 (ii/i B.C.) (= LAE2, p. 414 ff.) ᾧ (sc. θεῷ) πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέραι ταπεινοῦτα [ι ] μεθ᾽ ἱκετείας. MGr (ἐ)σήμερα.
