STRONGS G60:
ἀγοραῖος (rarely
-αία),
-αῖον, (
ἀγορά),
relating to the marketplace;
1. frequenting the market-place (either transacting business, as the
κάπηλοί, or)
sauntering idly (Latin
subrostranus,
subbasilicanus, German
Pfiastertreter, our
loafer):
Acts 17:5 (Plato, Prot. 347 c.
ἀγοραῖοι καί φαῦλοι, Aristophanes ran. 1015, others).
2. of affairs usually transacted in the market-place:
ἀγοραῖοι (namely,
ἡμέραι [Winer's Grammar, 590 (549)] or
σύνοδοι [Meyer and others])
ἄγονται, judicial days or assemblies [
A. V. marginal reading
court-days],
Acts 19:38 (
τὰς ἀγοραίους ποιεῖσθαι, Strabo 13, p. 932), but many think we ought to read
ἀγόραῖοι here, so G L cf. Winers Grammar, 53 (52); but see [Alford and
Tdf. at the passage;
Lipsius, Gram. Untersuch., p. 26;] Meyer on
Acts 17:5; Göttling, p. 297; [Chandler edition 1, p. 269].
