More quickly (τάχιον tachion)

Now they both ran together, but the other disciple ran more quickly, ahead of Peter, and so he arrived at the tomb first. (J 20:4)

ἔτρεχον δὲ οἱ δύο ὁμοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς προέδραμεν τάχιον τοῦ Πέτρου καὶ ἦλθεν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον.

Currebant autem duo simul, et ille alius discipulus præcucurrit citius Petro, et venit primus ad monumentum.

In the beginning was The Word.
