Headword: Θᾶττον ὁ τόκος Ἡρακλείτω Περινέω τρέχει
Adler number: theta,65
Translated headword: the interest runs quicker than Heraclitus of Perineum
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
This man was marvelled at for speed. So the proverb is used of those borrowing at interest.
Greek Original:
Θᾶττον ὁ τόκος Ἡρακλείτω Περινέω τρέχει: οὗτος ἐθαυμάσθη ἐπὶ τάχει. εἴρηται οὖν ἡ παροιμία ἐπὶ τῶν δανειζομένων διὰ τὸν τόκον.
Notes:
Zenobius 4.35, etc.
The qualifier attached to H's name is obscure (no toponym called Perineum/Perinaium is otherwise attested) and it might, rather, be a patronymic.
Keywords: athletics; biography; daily life; dialects, grammar, and etymology; economics; geography; proverbs
