Headword: Amphoteroploun
Adler number: alpha,1787
Translated headword: round-trip voyage
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Whenever someone makes a nautical loan on both the voyage out and the one back again, this is called a round-trip voyage. Thus Demosthenes [sc. uses the term].
Greek Original:
Amphoteroploun: hotan tis nautikon daneisêi daneion epi tôi kai enthende pleusai poiôn kakeithen enthade, touto amphoteroploun kaleitai. houtôs Dêmosthenês.
Note:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v. (where, as again here, the headword is in the accusative case). That entry was generated by Demosthenes 56.6; see also e.g. Demosthenes 34.6, 23, 25, 28.
