If I understand correctly, you can use sumti tcita for both cases.

The original bridi:

I read that book.
{mi tcidu le ta cukta}

You use ne'i as the location tense for "within":

I read that book in Moscow.
{mi tcidu le ta cukta ne'i la moskau.}

You use de'i to attach a date:

I read that book in Moscow on November 15, 1941.
{mi tcidu le ta cukta ne'i la moskau. de'i li pamu pi'e fei pi'e pasovopa}
