Etos denotes a year as a measure of age, elapsed duration, a dated period, or recurring observance.

The occurrences use the term for a year as a temporal measure: counting a person’s age, the length of a condition or activity, intervals before or after events, a regnal date, and a recurring observance. The same measure also frames long numbered periods, including the thousand-year sequence in Revelation 20.

   The term measures age in 1 Timothy 5:9 and Luke 3:23, where the APB renders persons as “sixty years old” and “about thirty years of age.” It also marks duration and interval: Acts 19:10 says an activity continued “for two years,” Galatians 2:1 places a journey “after fourteen years,” and Luke 2:41 describes travel to Jerusalem “each year.” In Luke 3:1, the dative singular form occurs in the dating clause rendered “In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar”; Revelation 20:2 uses the plural in the stated period “for a thousand years.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the temporal measure with “year” or “years,” including age statements, durations, intervals, and “each year.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English expressions confirm the clauses’ temporal setting rather than establish a separate meaning for each wording.
