proi marks an early or morning time for actions, arrivals, watch periods, and events in the Bible.

The occurrences use the adverb to locate an action or event at an early or morning time: people travel, arrive, pray, deliberate, observe, or await a household master at that time. The same temporal use also frames the span “from morning until evening” in Acts 28:23.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the temporal setting with “early” or “very early,” and in other clauses uses “in the morning” or “from morning until evening.” These renderings confirm the verses’ temporal setting rather than fixing a separate English equivalent in every clause.
