Headword: *dapana=n
Adler number: delta,64
Translated headword: to spend
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with an accusative.[1] [Meaning][2] not simply to use up, but to live it up and to be prodigal and to spend with wastefulness; thus Demosthenes [uses this word];[3] and other advocates use this word thus.[4] But Thucycides says "to put the city to expense" for "cast [the city] into great expenses."[5]
