Hello again B-Greekers,

First, thank you to all who wrote me to recommend 
inexpensive GNTs and other study helps.

Now, for another question:

The word  hHMERA  usually means "day".  However, it appears 
to mean  something like "judgment" at least once (in 1 Cor 4:3).

Many (all?) English versions translate  hHMERA  as "day" 
in Acts 17:31.  But it looks like it might make decent 
sense to translate it as "court" or "tribunal" or "judgment" 
here.  I'm not saying that's my view: I'm asking.  
What do you think?
