Headword: *kai/ria
Adler number: kappa,1186
Translated headword: timely [things]
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] things that are advantageous.[1] "For to whom [= to whose approval], o noble friends, would I ever hear a word of comfort? To whom who thinks timely [things]?".[2] Meaning from whom would I hear things that are advantageous?[3] Thus Sophocles.
Greek Original:
*kai/ria: ta\ sumfe/ronta. ti/ni ga/r pot', w)= fili/a gene/qla, pro/sforon a)kou/saim' e)/pos; ti/ni fronou=nti kai/ria; a)nti\ tou= para\ ti/nos a)kou/saimi ta\ sumfe/ronta; ou(/tws *sofoklh=s.
Notes:
[1] The headword (extracted from the quotation given) is neuter nominative/accusative plural of the adjective kai/rios; cf. kappa 1187, kappa 1188.
[2] Sophocles, Electra 226-228 (with scholion); the Suda leaves out a)/n after pot'. With a less stilted rendering of the ethic dative: "Who indeed, my noble friends, who that keeps what is appropriate in mind, would think any word of comfort right for my ears?" (Sir Richard Jebb, web address 1)
[3] The scholiast paraphrases the verse as "from whom would I ever hear a word of comfort?". In that context "advantageous" is glossing pro/sforon, "serviceable", and not kai/rios.
