    DefinitionShort: pertaining to a point of time preceding another point of time, with an interval of considerable length{N:001}
    Glosses: ['long ago', 'of long ago']
    Comments: References to a point of time preceding another point of time may express a relationship to an event in the discourse or to the time of the discourse itself. In {S:05800100100008} πάλαι[a] marks a point of time long before the actual writing of this Letter to the Hebrews. The same is true of ἔκπαλαι in {S:06100300500018}. In some languages it is necessary to indicate clearly whether the interval is (1) between a prior time and the event mentioned in the discourse or (2) between a prior time and the discourse itself. For example, in {S:05800100100008} it may be necessary to translate ‘long ago before now God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets’ or ‘long ago before now that I am writing …’

    DefinitionShort: a point of time preceding another point of time and implying completion, but with a longer interval of time than in the case of {L:ἤδη} ({D:67.20})
    Glosses: ['already', 'already for some time']
    Comments: The use of πάλαι in {S:04101504400030} would seem to suggest that Jesus‘ death had taken place considerably sooner than what Pilate had thought would happen. In trying to render the implication of πάλαι[c], it may be possible to translate {S:04101504400030} as ‘Pilate called the army officer and asked him if Jesus had indeed already died.’
