*ou)de\ ta)rxai=on poiei=.
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".
