βαιοῦ … χρόνου. The gen. of the "time within which" expresses the period to which the act belongs, and might so be viewed as possessive: Plat. Gorg. 448A “οὐδείς μέ πω ἠρώτηκε καινὸν οὐδὲν πολλῶν ἐτῶν”, i.e. non-questioning of me has now been the attribute of many years. “ἐντός” is sometimes added ( Isocr. or. 6 § 46 “ἐντὸς τριῶν μηνῶν κατέσχεν ἅπασαν Μακεδονίαν”). κοὐχὶ μ., with warning emphasis: O. T. 58 “γνωτὰ κοὐκ ἄγνωτα” (n.). Cp. 617.
