Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] increased the price.¹
"And they, intending to make a profit, were raising the price of the food as though he were starving. But he nevertheless bought it." Malchos says [this].²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπετίμα· ἐπηύξει τὴν τιμήν. οἱ δὲ κερδαίνειν οἰόμενοι ἐπετίμων ὡς λιμώττοντι τὸν σῖτον. ὁ δὲ οὐδὲν ἧττον ἠγόραζε. Μάλχος φησίν.

Notes (2)

cf. generally epsilon 672, epsilon 2703.
1Likewise in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword must be quoted from somewhere, but is not extant in Plato. Arguably the best-known instance of the headword, in the New Testament (Mark 3.12), does not bear the sense glossed here. ↩
2Malchos fr.21 FHG (4.132). ↩
