This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
46. πέπρακεν, ‘sells at once.’ The perfect marks the quickness of the transaction, cp. Dem. Phil. I. 19, δεδόχθαι, ‘instantly determined upon.’ Soph. Aj. 275, νῦν δʼ ὡς ἔληξε κἀπέπνευσε τῆς νόσου, | κεῖνός τε λύπη πᾶς ἐλήλαται κακῇ, and 479, ἢ καλῶς τεθνηκέναι, ‘or at once nobly die.’ See Jebb on both passages. τὸ μὴ ἐμποδὼν ἀνανταγωνίστῳ εὐνοίᾳ τετίμηται, (Thuc. II. 45) ‘is at once held in honour.’ Donaldson, Greek Grammar, p. 409, (cc.)
