Vetting Status: high
Translation:

[Meaning] one who has acquired no money, even if he might have sufficient property from other possessions. Lysias in the [speech] On the will of Epigenes [writes]: "since, therefore, Epigenes was forced to command a trireme though infirm, since he was moneyless and the enemy were in control of the land [...]."[1]

Greek Original:

Anarguros: ho argurion mê kektêmenos, ei kai eiê autôi hikanê ousia ex heterôn ktêmatôn. Lusias en tôi peri tês Epigenous diathêkês: epeidê toinun Epigenês asthenês triêrarchein ênankazeto, anarguros ôn kai tês gês tôn polemiôn kratountôn.

Note:

[1] Lysias fr. 93 Sauppe (35 Thalheim), now 104 Carey OCT; again at epsilon 2263. As Davies 178 notes, enemy -- sc. Spartan -- occupation of Attica indicates a date during the Decelian War (413-404).
