Headword: *kairofulakh=sai
Adler number: kappa,1191
Translated headword: to be on the lookout for an opportunity
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to watch out for an opportunity.[1]
"But he ordered him to shift quarters and not to be meddlesome nor to be on the lookout for an opportunity."[2]
Greek Original:
*kairofulakh=sai: kairo\n e)pithrh=sai. o( de\ e)ke/leuen au)to\n a)nazeugnu/nai kai\ mh\ polupragmonei=n mhde\ kairofulakei=n.
Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa74 Theodoridis. The headword is aorist infinitive of the verb kairofulakei=n; cf. generally kappa 1192 and phi 826. It is presumably quoted from somewhere (but, if so, not the quotation given, which uses the present infinitive).
[2] Quotation (and personnel) unidentifiable.
Keywords: biography; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; historiography; history; military affairs
