Adler number: nu,603
Translated headword: just now
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] recently, or a little earlier.
Plato in
Laws [writes]: "or though it was just now, a bit earlier, that we visited these arguments and had not yet made these propositions, have we now forgotten them?"[1] And
Euripides in
Hippolytus [writes]: "just now you went up a mountain to pursue your desire for the hunt, now on waveless sands[...]."[2] Also in [his]
Meleager [Author, Myth]: "you see me just now how you softened fortune."[3]
Magnes in
Pytacides [writes]: "tell me, just now you swore that it had not happened, but now you say it has."[4] In the
Laws the 'now' is spoken absolutely in reference to present time, but the 'just' serves as a conjunction. "Just which of all the wars is most difficult, as we say just now."[5]

Notes:
Very similarly in
Photius (nu294 Theodoridis, with other references).
[1]
Plato,
Laws 3.683E (web address 1), but here slightly garbled. In place of
ou)/pw ('not yet') the text of
Plato reads
ou(/tw ('thus') which produces far better sense ("..had thus made these propositions...").
[2] An approximation of
Euripides,
Hippolytus 233-235 (web address 2).
[3]
Euripides fr. 535 Nauck (and Kannicht), probably garbled. Nauck reads a vocative
*tu/xh in place of the accusative
tu/xhn transmitted here and in
Photius. This yields much better sense: "you see how you softened me just now, Fortune."
[4]
Magnes [
mu 20] fr. 6 Kock (and K.-A.); cf.
pi 3257.
[5]
Plato,
Laws 1.629D, except that the text of
Plato reads, more plausibly,
e)/famen ('we said'). See web address 3.
