tote marks the time that follows an event or identifies a contrasting earlier or later time.

The adverb commonly points to the next moment in a narrative or to the outcome following a stated condition; it can also identify a particular earlier time in contrast with the present. Its force is temporal, locating actions such as Peter’s response, a later realization, or a consequence after the event that precedes it.

1. The next event or resulting moment · dominant

   As an adverb, τότε introduces what follows in a sequence or what occurs after a condition. In Acts 10:46 the APB renders Peter's response after the people were heard speaking tongues and magnifying God; in John 12:16 it places the disciples' remembering after Jesus was glorified. In 1 Corinthians 15:54, the stated putting on of incorruption and immortality is followed by the written word coming to pass.

2. A specified earlier time · occasional

   The adverb can point back to a past time rather than advance a narrative sequence. In Galatians 4:8 the APB sets the time when the audience did not know God against the present, while Galatians 4:29 compares persecution "at that time" with what is now. Hebrews 12:26 similarly contrasts the time when the voice shook the earth with "now."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB frequently presents the temporal connection with "Then," especially in narrative progression, and uses "at that time" in Galatians 4:29. In some clauses it expresses the surrounding temporal relation through wording such as "when" or leaves the adverb's individual contribution less explicit.
