         Comments: In {S:04700900600012} φειδομένως is obviously in contrast with the phrase ἐπ᾽ εὐλογίαις ‘abundantly’ ({D:59.56}). It may, however, be necessary to indicate clearly the nature of that which is sown or reaped sparingly, for example, ‘the one who plants only a small amount of seed will have only a very small harvest.’
