Headword: *ou)de\ ta)rxai=on poiei=
Adler number: omicron,817
Translated headword: nor does it even make the capital
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[no gloss]
Greek Original:
*ou)de\ ta)rxai=on poiei=.
Note:
Comica adespota fr. 723 Kock, but not in K.-A. Out of context as it is, it could have been construed as meaning 'nor does he do the old-fashioned thing'. However, in classical writers a)rxai=on is often loan-capital (see alpha 4072), distinguished explicitly or implicitly from any interest it earns (tau 739, tau 740); and that is how ancient readers understood the phrase here. See Photius, Lexicon omicron622 Theodoridis (taken to come from Pausanias the Atticist): "in reference to things not bringing an advantage".
Keywords: comedy; daily life; economics; proverbs
