Chapter 6
Luke 6:1
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν σαββάτῳ δευτεροπρώτῳ διαπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν διὰ τῶν σπορίμων· καὶ ἔτιλλον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ τοὺς στάχυας, καὶ ἤσθιον, ψώχοντες ταῖς χερσί.
RBT Translation:
ψώχοντες - rubbing/grinding to bits
And he became within a second-first cessation,23 himself traveling through across sown fields, and Learners of himself were pulling out, and they were eating the Ears of Grain, those who are grinding down with the Hands. δευτερόπρωτος is an adjective that was never figured out by scholars. It is two words compounded into one, second + first. As the author is coining a new word (hapax legomenon) it is certainly breaking the bounds of Greek thought. The unique word was commented on by Chrysostom and Epiphanius who lived in the 4th and 5th centuries.
A simple logic of the word is that cessation/sabbath is a joining (a.k.a Levi) of the first and second. Such a sense however would never fit into any calendric, sequential, or time-series logic, and thus such logic would never be possible to find.
Entering into the Sabbath Rest therefore can be seen as a dual act, from two sides, and thus a second-first cessation. When both sides cease, or find rest.

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And it was in the second first sabbath, he went through the standing corn; and his disciples pulled out the ears of corn, and ate, crumbling in small pieces with hands.
And it was in the second first sabbath, he went through the standing corn; and his disciples pulled out the ears of corn, and ate, crumbling in small pieces with hands.
LITV Translation:
And it happened on the second chief sabbath, He passed along through the sown fields. And His disciples plucked the heads and were eating, rubbing with the hands.
