Not for selling things, but for the other transactions that go on in the marketplace at dawn, or indeed before the marketplace gets full.[1]
Pherekrates [writes]: "always to drink and get drunk before the marketplace gets full".[2]
Same entry (but slightly fuller) in
Photius and elsewhere; see further, next note.
[1] C. Theodoridis in his
Photius edition prints Croenert's
ἧκε for
ἢ καί and thereby sees in this entry
two fragments of
Pherekrates (cf. next note) -- this first one being "he came at dawn before the marketplace gets full".
[2]
Pherekrates fr. 29 Kock (an extract which, as can readily be seen, connects with the glossing material rather than with the (proverbial?) phrase glossed).
