BDAG cites Aristotle, Physics 236a EN ATOMWi as referring to an instant of
time. Symmachus's translation of Isa. 54:8 uses the same phrase to indicate
an instant, but he's late 2nd century CE.

Hi,
Besides being used to describe theoretically the smallest indivisible unit
of matter (Leucippus, 460 b.c.), does anyone know if "atomos" (translated
'moment' in the KVJ) was also ordinarily used to indicate a small unit of
time in the first century or even earlier?
Thanks.
