Headword:
*sxolh/
Adler number: sigma,1802
Translated headword: leisure
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [The word
sxolh/] is not the place in which they are at school and spend time on education, nor is it culture and spending time on words/speeches, but [it is that] which most people, incorrectly, call
eukairia; the [verb]
eukairein [is] barbaric; but instead of
eukairein they speak of engaging in
schole.
Eukairia is not a barbaric noun, but it does not apply to
schole; rather, to some opportunity for natural goodness and excellence. And meaning "not at all."[1]
So
schole [means] doing nothing, or lingering on something.[2] And instead of
sxola/zein they say
eu)kairei=n.
And
Aelian [writes]: "I myself resorted to these things, not engaging in
schole anywhere to honour random people's evils with my own words, but in order that others would not do comparable ones."[3]
So
schole [is], to the majority, (?)ill-timed opportunity.[4]

[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, and in various
scholia (e.g. to
Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 1286, and to
Plato,
Republic 610D); references at
Photius sigma919 Theodoridis. For the dative
sxolh=| used as an adverb meaning "scarcely, not at all," see LSJ s.v. B.2 (and
sigma 1803).
[2] cf.
Hesychius sigma3049.
[3]
Aelian fr. 29 Domingo-Forasté (26 Hercher), as part of fragments concerning Caligula.
[4] cf. the
scholia to
Plato,
Euthyphro 6C -- though it is the Suda which adds the paradoxical adjective. Adler notes (but does not follow) the attractive emendation in the
editio princeps from
a)/kairos to
a)/kuros, and Kuster's suggestion of the adverb
a)ku/rws, as earlier in the entry.
