Translation
[The same as] instantly, [i.e. used as] an adverb;1 [meaning] in a short time, in a moment.
But Aristophanes in Wealth [sc. uses the phrase] "in an instant": "I was thrown down out of doors naked in an instant." [Meaning] in the merest [hair's breadth], that which cannot be cut through or cropped through shortage of time. It has been derived from the small hairs, the ones which because of shortness cannot be cut [karh=nai ]. There is a [related] adverb a)karw=s ["instantly"]. From which [comes] the adverbial word a)kare/s .2
But [note also]kari/ , [in the phrase?] tw=| kari/ , [which declines] ka/r , karo/s , kari/ .3

Greek original
Ἀκαρῆ· ἀκαρῶς, ἐπίρρημα· ἐν βραχείᾳ ὥρᾳ, ἐν ἀτόμῳ. ἐν ἀκαρεῖ δὲ Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ· γυμνὸς θύραζ' ἔπεσον ἐν ἀκαρεῖ χρόνῳ. τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ, ὃν οὐχ οἷόν τε διακεῖραι καὶ κόψαι διὰ τὸ βραχὺ τοῦ χρόνου. πεποίηται δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν μικρῶν τριχῶν, τῶν διὰ βραχύτητα μὴ δυναμένων καρῆναι. ἔστι δὲ ἐπίρρημα τὸ ἀκαρῶς. ἀφ' οὗ τὸ ἀκαρὲς ἐπιρρηματικὸν ὄνομα. καρὶ δὲ τῷ καρί, κάρ, καρός, καρί.
