Headword:
*proi+e/nai
Adler number: pi,2427
Translated headword: to cast away
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] to throw [away], to lose.[1] "It is not right for a man to cast away any of his own [possessions]."[2] For he did not say 'to manage' or 'to lend', but 'to cast away', the creditor being vexed at not being able to recover the money which he lent. So he is saying that one should not recklessly give away one's own money to others.[3]

Aristophanes,
Clouds 1214 (a complaint of the First Creditor: web address 1), though in the form of a question in the received text; see Dover, p. 72. [In her critical apparatus Adler reports that ms M has
to/n for
tw=n.]
[3] From the
scholia (=
scholia vetera) to the above Aristophanic passage. [Adler notes that Bernhardy suggested
xari/sasqai,
to give graciously, for the paradosis
xeiri/sasqai; ms A reads
tw=n for
tw=|; and ms V omits the last sentence in the passage.]
