Adler number: kappa,820
Translated headword: no lying in the agora
Vetting Status: high
Translation: There seems to be a law, relating to goods on sale,[1] which prohibits lying in the
agora. At any rate,
Theophrastus in his [volumes]
On Laws says: "the market-commissioners had two of these responsibilities, [ensuring] good order in the
agora and [seeing] that there was no lying, on the part of not only the sellers but the buyers too."[2]

Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration (and
Photius) s.v., commenting on the appearance of a similar phrase in
Hyperides,
Against Athenogenes 14.
[1] The abridgement has made the Greek here ungrammatical: the clause has two main verbs. I have translated what it sought to say rather than what it actually does.

Theophrastus fr. 20 Szegedy-Maszak (app. 651 FHS&G). For market-commissioners (
agoranomoi) cf.
