All ordinal numerals in Koiné Greek are considered ordinal determiners in this grammar. For example, consider the sentence, "John won second prize in the race." The word "second" is an ordinal determiner.

Example: Matthew 20:3
καὶ ἐξελθὼν περὶ τρίτην ὥραν εἶδεν ἄλλους ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς
kai exelthōn peri tritēn hōran eiden allous hestōtas en tē agora argous
and going out about third hour he saw others standing in the marketplace idle
He went out again about the third hour and saw other workers standing idle in the marketplace.
