Meaning little or nothing. Thus Antiphon.¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄκαρ· ἀντὶ τοῦ μικρὸν ἢ οὐδέν. οὕτως Ἀντιφῶν.

*)/akar: a)nti\ tou= mikro\n h)\ ou)de/n. ou(/tws *)antifw=n.

The transmitted text reads a)/kar, which is a non-word. The equivalent entry in the immediate source, Harpokration, shows that we should emend to a)karh= (for which see anyway alpha 801 and alpha 802).
