αὐγή, αὐγῆς, ἡ, brightness, radiance (cf. German Auge (eye), of which the tragic poets sometimes use αὐγή, see Pape (or Liddell and Scott; cf. Latinlumina)), especially of the sun; hence, ἡλίου is often added (Homer and following), daylight; hence, ἄχρις (ἄχρι T Tr WH) αὐγῆς even till break of day, Acts 20:11 (Polyaen. 4, 18, p. 386 κατά τήν πρώτην αὐγήν τῆς ἡμέρας). (Synonym: see φέγγος, at the end.)
