Thanks, Oun. I wonder what others think; TRITHN AUTHN hMERAN AGEI 
SHMERON: "Today (Sunday) brings this third day since..."
We still have the same "third day" reference which as others have 
suggested is reckoned inclusively.
If one goes backwards: Today, yesterday and the third day, or 
forwards "today, tomorrow and the third day."
This fits well with Luke's preparation, sabbath and first day in Luke 23..
