ε2180Ἐπ' ἤματι
for a day
[Meaning] in a single day. "Theodosius wept for the dead empress for [sc. only] about a day -- because necessity, and the war at hand, was for him overshadowing his emotion concerning his wife."
Ἐπ' ἤματι· ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ. ὁ δὲ Θεοδόσιος τὴν βασίλισσαν θανοῦσαν ἐπ' ἤματι σχεδόν τι ἐδάκρυσεν· ἀνάγκη γάρ, καὶ ὁ προκείμενος πόλεμος συνεσκίαζεν αὐτῷ τὸ περὶ τὴν γυναῖκα πάθος.
