MESONUKTIOU

In Acts 20:7 it says that Paul "...prolonged his message until
midnight (MESONUKTIOU)." Does MESONUKTIOU carry
with it the same preciseness of time in 1st century Greek as it
does in 20th century English, i.e., 12 O'clock Midnight? Or, is
it a more general, broad term designating a somewhat broad amount
of time, say, from 9PM to 3AM or so?

Thank you,

Denny
