Headword: *)agora=s w(/ran
Adler number: alpha,306

Vetting Status: high

[Meaning the hour/time] not for selling things, but for the other transactions that go on in the marketplace at dawn, or indeed before the marketplace gets full.[1] Pherekrates [writes]: "always to drink and get drunk before the marketplace gets full".[2]
Greek Original:
*)agora=s w(/ran: ou) tw=n pwloume/nwn, a)lla\ tw=n a)/llwn pra/cewn tw=n kat' a)gora\n e(/wqen, h)\ kai\ pri\n a)gora\n peplhqe/nai. *ferekra/ths: pi/nein a)ei\ kai\ mequ/ein pri\n a)gora\n peplhqe/nai.
Notes:
Same entry, but slightly fuller, in Photius (Lexicon alpha238 Theodoridis) and elsewhere; see further, next note.
[1] Theodoridis (above) prints Croenert's h(=ke for h)\ kai/ and thereby sees in this entry two fragments of Pherekrates (cf. next note) -- this first one being "he came at dawn before the marketplace gets full".
[2] Pherekrates fr. 29 Kock, now 34 K.-A. -- an extract which, as can readily be seen, connects with the glossing material rather than with the (proverbial?) phrase glossed. See also fr. 178 K.-A.
