Translation:
Thus they used to say that those who appeared suddenly had been seen kata\ qei=on. And in reference to [events] happening suddenly, that is appearing opportunely, they used to say kata\ qei=on. So since the sausage-seller appeared suddenly when they wished but did not expect [him], [Aristophanes] said: "here he comes into the agora as if out of the blue".
