RON
  The problem here is that we are not referring to an english book, but 
a greek one. I am not ruling out the possibility that my interpretation 
is incorrect, but no one has proved the point. For examle, in the above 
definition you provided I see this interpretation of the english word: 
"happening at once; instant".
