τρίτος (tritos) — third / third part

Notes: Though τὸ τρίτον functions in an adverbial sense, there seems to be no reason to set up a separate meaning of τρίτος as referring only to a temporal sequence. The interpretation of τρίτος in terms of time or space is a factor of the context. When objects are involved, ordinals simply mark position in a spacial sequence; when events are involved, ordinals simply mark position in a temporal sequence.
