Never mind that that embarrassing question. Of course it's not m/p.

Hi Steve,
You wrote:

"According to TLG, this verb occurs in the MP only here in this
proverb, which is cited multiple times and explained as stealing
something worthless (whence the explanation in LSJ)."

Since you have access to the TLG, could you check the context of ὀ̓μφακιζῃ in Aristaenetus Rhetor 1.3 and 2.7, cited in LSJ under παρατρυγάω to see if it's active subjunctive or middle/passive?

Thanks,
Ken
