It is in the _Timaeus_--though I can't give you the Stephanus page for
it--that ought to be on the Perseus site (which I was unable to access
yesterday); it's also; in the _Definitiones_ or hOROI which are published
in volume 5 of the OCT PLATONIS OPERA.

Doesn't Oscar Cullmann have something on "time and eternity" in the NT--I
think it's a booK? There was also a shorter work of Bultmann on time and
eternity, published, if I recall aright, by Harper Torchbooks in a
paperback.
There's a definition of CRONOS that reads something like CRONOS MEN ESTIN
EN hWi POLLOI EISIN KAIROI, KAIROS D' ESTIN EN hWi OUK ESTIN POLUS CRONOS.
It may be Stoic; I simply can't remember where I read it, but it impressed
itself on my memory.
