Translation
[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those storing away a lot of merchandise. It is a saying from the fact that people hurry to festivals, where many holy things and coats and loaves are on display, so as not to be too late for anything.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἑορτὴ πολλὰ ἔχουσα· ἐπὶ τῶν πολλὰ ἀποτιθεμένων φορτία. εἴρηται δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ πρὸς τὰς ἑορτὰς ἐπειγομένων, οἳ πολλὰ ἐπιφέρονται καὶ ἱερεῖα καὶ ἱμάτια καὶ ἄρτους, ἵνα μηδενὸς ὑστερήσωσιν.
