Headword: Δαπανᾶν
Adler number: delta,64
Translated headword: to spend
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
With accusative. Not simply to use up, but to live it up and to be prodigal and to spend with wastefulness; thus Demosthenes [uses this word];[1] and other advocates use this word thus.[2] But Thucydides says that the city spends, meaning thrusts into great expenses.[3]
Greek Original:
Δαπανᾶν: αἰτιατικῇ. οὐ τὸ ἀναλίσκειν ἁπλῶς, ἀλλὰ τὸ λαμπρῶς ζῆν καὶ σπαθᾶν καὶ δαπανᾶν τῇ ἀσωτίᾳ: οὕτω Δημοσθένης: καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι δικανικοὶ οὕτως χρῶνται τῷ ὀνόματι. Θουκυδίδης δὲ τὴν πόλιν δαπανᾶν φησιν, ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰς ἀναλώματα μεγάλα ἐμβάλλειν.
