Footnotes
ὥρα ἑβδόμη (hōra hebdomē) = "seventh hour" — by Jewish reckoning (counting from sunrise ~6am), this is approximately 1pm. The FOG preserves the ancient time frame; the FOG Message converts for modern readability. κομψότερον ἔσχεν (kompsoteron eschen) = lit. "began to have it more finely/elegantly" — a colloquial Greek idiom for recovery, the kind of phrase a servant might actually use in excited relief.
