Literally, whenever evening came on or more exactly whenever it became late. The use of οταν hotan (οτε αν hote an) with the aorist indicative is like οπου αν hopou an with the imperfect indicative (εισεπορευετο eiseporeueto) and οσοι αν hosoi an with the aorist indicative (ηπσαντο hēpsanto) in Mark 6:56. The use of αν an makes the clause more indefinite and general, as here, unless it renders it more definite, a curious result, but true. Luke 21:37 has the accusative of extent of time, “the days,” “the nights.” The imperfect tense he (or they) would go (εχεπορευετο εχεπορευοντο exeporeueto exeporeuonto) out of the city suggests “whenever” as the meaning here.

Genitive singular. Vulgate Olivetum. Made like αμπελων ampelōn Here only in the N.T., usually το ορος των Ελαιων to oros tōn Elaiōn (the Mount of Olives), though some MSS. have Olivet in Luke 19:29; Luke 21:37. Josephus (Ant. VII. 9, 2) has it also and the papyri (Deissmann, Light from the Ancient East, p. 170). [source]
