This may be directed toward those who are acquainted
with Classical Greek. (Carl C., others?)

MAKARION ESTIN MALLON DIDONAI H LAMBANEIN

It would appear that Plato used KTHMA instead of
LAMBANW. I didn't see the citation from Thuc in BDAG.

That said, can anyone confirm then that the ancient
proverb used by Plato and Thuc, both I assume with
KTHMA instead of LAMBANW, would understandably change
from KTHMA (in Classical Greek) to LAMBANW in the
Hellenistic Period... and of course, retain its
original sense?
