Translation
In the Holy Scripture [this word means] the vicissitudes of circumstances. David [says]: "we were filled full of your mercy early on, Lord."1
'Early' is all the interval [of time] after the cockcrow. When he says 'having risen early',2 so that he might not seem to be saying contradictory things -- the resurrection being unseen and unknown -- one must put a punctuation mark, 'and having risen'; and thus add: 'early, on the first [day] of the week, he appeared to Mary'.

Πρωΐ· παρὰ τῇ θείᾳ γραφῇ αἱ τῶν συμφορῶν μεταβολαί. Δαβίδ· ἐνεπλήσθημεν τὸ πρωῒ τοῦ ἐλέους σου, κύριε. Πρωῒ δὲ ἐστὶ πᾶν τὸ διάστημα τὸ μετὰ τὴν ἀλεκτοροφωνίαν. ὅτε δὲ λέγει, ἀναστὰς πρωΐ, ὡς ἂν μὴ ἐναντία δόξῃ λέγειν, ἀδήλου τῆς ἀναστάσεως καὶ ἀγνώστου οὔσης, στικτέον, ἀναστὰς δέ· καὶ οὕτως ἐπαγαγεῖν· πρωΐ, πρώτῃ σαββάτων, ἐφάνη Μαρίᾳ.
