Translation
[To sell [pepra=sqai ]] and to put on sale [pwlei=sqai ] are different. For 'to sell' [sc. is a transaction which] turned out completely and utterly, but 'to put on sale' is [sc. the term used] also when there is no result; for it is possible that something perpetually on sale is not sold.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πεπρᾶσθαι καὶ πωλεῖσθαι διαφέρει· τὸ μὲν γὰρ πεπρᾶσθαι πάντη καὶ πάντως ἀπέβη, τὸ δὲ πωλεῖσθαι ἔστιν ὅτε καὶ οὐκ ἀποβαίνει· ἐνδέχεται γὰρ τὸ ἔτι πωλούμενον μὴ πραθῆναι.
