schedon marks an extent that falls short of totality, whether a city, a region, or things governed by the law.

The adverb marks an extent close to, but not stated as, the whole: a city gathers, Paul’s influence reaches Asia, and cleansing applies to what is described under the law.

1. Extent close to the whole · dominant

   In Acts 13:44 the adverb qualifies the whole city gathering; in Acts 19:26 it qualifies all Asia in the report of Paul’s persuading and turning away a crowd. Hebrews 9:22 applies the same extent-marker to everything described as cleansed with blood according to the law; the APB renders the clauses with “almost” or “nearly.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the extent with “almost” in Acts 13:44 and “nearly” in Acts 19:26 and Hebrews 9:22. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than establish separate senses.
