Headword: *)agora/sai
Adler number: alpha,304
Translated headword: to buy at market
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Hyperides [sc. uses this] to mean to purchase.[1]
They say a)gora/sw, a)gorw= being sub-literate;[2] there are plenty of examples everywhere, but take for instance [one] of Aristophanes, from Aiolosikon: "but hurry, there was no need to wait, since I will buy everything that you ask for all at once, madam".[3] Also [sc. attested are] agorasmata, the things that have been bought.[4]
Greek Original:
*)agora/sai: *(uperi/dhs to\ w)nh/sasqai. *)agora/sw le/gousi, to\ d' a)gorw= ba/rbaron: paradeigma/twn de\ mesta\ pa/nta, ei)lh/fqw d' o(/mws *)aristofa/nous e)c *ai)olosi/kwnos: a)ll' a)/nuson: ou) me/llein e)xrh=n, w(s a)gora/sw a(paca/panq' o(/sa keleu/eis, w)= gu/nai. kai\ *)agora/smata au)ta\ ta\ h)gorasme/na.
Notes:
[1] From Harpokration s.v., citing Hyperides fr. 70 Jensen for this aorist infinitive of a)gora/zw (cf. alpha 300); See also a)gora/zei in For Lykophron 2.
[2] At issue here are two forms of the 1st person singular, future indicative active. The former (for which cf. alpha 305) is proper Attic form, the latter koine.
[3] Aristophanes fr. 2 Kock and K.-A.
[4] Attested in comedy and oratory.
