French (Bailly abrégé)
I. intr. être petit marchand ou brocanteur;
II. tr. en mauv. part :
1 brocanter, trafiquer de;
2 débiter chichement : μάχην ESCHL lésiner ou recourir à de petits moyens à la guerre, faire la guerre petitement (lat. bellum cauponari).
Étymologie: κάπηλος.
English (Strong)
from kapelos (a huckster); to retail, i.e. (by implication) to adulterate (figuratively): corrupt.
English (Thayer)
(κάπηλος, i. e.
a. an inn-keeper, especially a vintner;
b. a petty retailer, a huckster, pedler; cf. οὐ δικαιωθήσεται κάπηλος ἀπό ἁμαρτίας);
a. to be a retailer, to peddle;
b. with the accusative of the thing, "to make money by selling anything; to get sordid gain by dealing in anything, to do a thing for base gain" (οἱ τά μαθήματα περιαγοντες κατά πόλεις καί πωλοῦντες καί καπηλεύοντες, Plato, Prot., p. 313d.; μάχην, Aeschylus the Sept. 551 (545); Latin cauponari bellum, i. e. to fight for gain, trade in war, Ennius quoted in Cicero, offic. 1,12, 38; ἑταιραν τό τῆς ὥρας ἄνθος καπηλευουσαν, Philo de caritat. § 14, cf. leg. ad Gaium § 30, and many other examples in other authors). Hence, some suppose that καπηλεύειν τόν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ in to trade in the word of God, i. e. to try to get base gain by teaching divine truth. But as pedlers were in the habit of adulterating their commodities for the sake of gain (οἱ κάπηλοί σου μίσγουσι τόν οἶνον ὕδατι, Sept.; κάπηλοί, οἱ τόν οἶνον κεραννύντες, Pollux, onomast. 7,193; οἱ φιλοσοφοι ἀποδιδονται τά μαθήματα, ὥσπερ οἱ κάπηλοί, κερασάμενοι γέ οἱ πολλοί καί δολωσαντες καί κακομετρουντες, Lucian. Hermot. 59), καπηλεύειν τί was also used as synonymous with to corrupt, to adulterate (Themistius, or. 21, p. 247, Hard. edition says that the false philosophers τό θειοτατον τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων ἀγαθῶν κιβδηλεύειν τέ καί αἰσχύνειν καί καπηλεύειν); and most interpreters rightly decide in favor of this meaning (on account of the context) in δολουν τόν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ, Trench, § lxii.)
