OJK:

Some argue that the resurrection was not on Sunday, but on Saturday.
Sunday was only the day the tomb was found empty.  It would not be
much of concern to me neither, because (to follow the Gospel
narratives) we have to give up anachronistic terminology like Sunday,
Friday, etc. If the resurrection was after Sabbath was over, it was on
the First day of the week (Sat evening to Sun morning, the exact time
unable to pin down.)

  OJK:  I am looking at the phrase OYE DE SABBATWN once again. With
'DE' suggesting introduction of a new thought, [this I learned from
B-Greek discussion], I don't think this phrase can be put at the end
of the preceding verse, instead of the usual way of seeing it [must be
equivalent to  KAI DIAGENOMENOU TOU SABBATOU in Mk 16:1.]

[I was reading someone's refuting the rendering it as 'later on
Sabbath' (such as ASV) and at the same time to specify when the guard
was put on the tomb.]
