My Concordant Greek Text accepts the EDUSEN reading with the notation 
that Sinaiticus and Alexandrinys both omit the -SEN, which leaves it in 
the Vaticanus only of the three mss that this source concords.  Their 
[brutal] sublinear 'transliteration' reads "when slips the sun"... And 
in regular [Concordant] translation it reads "when the sun sets", which 
leaves open any more precise temporal rendition, and may favor 2 over 1, 
but not by much!   :-)

The immediate context of 'evening coming on' would seem to argue for its 
meaning as simply the "conclusion" of that process.

NA 25 also accepts EDUSEN rather than EDU.  I don't have the TR.
