Denny Diehl here  with a question concerning

PRWTH as used in Lk 2:2:

"AUTH  APOGRAQH  PRWTH  EGENETO..."

usually translated:  "This was the first census taken..."

In Jn 15:18, PRWTON is translated "before".  Is it possible
to translate PRWTH in Lk 2:2 with "before" making it:

"This was before the census taken..."?

Or is it too awkward to translate it that way?  Thank you.
