Adler number: pi,2190

Vetting Status: high
Translation: [sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those [affairs] occurring against expectation and against hope.[1]
[Note] that the merchant-shipper [emporos] is referred to as a 'man of affairs' [pragmateutikos]; and a mercantilist [empolaios] likewise.[2]
Greek Original:Pragmat' ex apraxias: epi tôn para doxan kai par' elpida sumbainontôn. hoti pragmateutikos anthrôpos legetai ho emporos: kai empolaios homoiôs.
Notes:
[1] Likewise in
Diogenianus 7.59 (and
Apostolius 14.91); see also
Photius pi1133 Theodoridis. Uncharacteristically, Adler failed to register that the headword phrase itself comes from Attic Comedy:
Comica adespota fr. 483 Kock (now 103 K.-A.), preserved in
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 2.49A (2.32 Kaibel). [In her critical apparatus Adler notes that mss GF read
a)proseci/as (
for want of intention), and that ms G transmits
parado/cws,
unexpectedly, instead of
against expectation.]
[2] From
epsilon 1036 and
epsilon 1045. [Adler reports that mss AFV omitted this additional point, but that ms A (Parisinus 2626) supplied it within its margin; also that ms G omits
o(/ti,
as.]
