- late 10th century, Ælfric, "The Seven Sleepers"
...ac mē tōdæġ swā wundorlīce is ġelumpen þæt ic þurh nān þincg ne mæġ ġecnāwan hwæðer þys sȳ Ephesa byriġ þe elles ǣniġ ōþer;...- But to-day it has befallen me so wonderfully that I cannot by any means recognise whether this be the city of the Ephesians or else any other.
Usage notes
- Unlike the modern descendant, tōdæġ only means "today" in the adverbial sense of "on the current day". For "today" as a noun, phrases like þēs dæġ ("this day") would be used. In the adverbial sense of "nowadays" or "these days", on þissum dagum was used instead.
