Matthew 13:46

πέπρακεν, ‘sells at once.’ The perfect marks the quickness of the transaction, cp. Dem. Phil. I. 19, δεδόχθαι, ‘instantly determined upon.’ Soph. Aj. 275, νῦν δʼ ὡς ἔληξε κἀπέπνευσε τῆς νόσου, | κεῖνός τε λύπη πᾶς ἐλήλαται κακῇ, and 479, ἢ καλῶς τεθνηκέναι, ‘or at once nobly die.’ See Jebb on both passages. τὸ μὴ ἐμποδὼν�, (Thuc. II. 45) ‘is at once held in honour.’ Donaldson, Greek Grammar, p. 409, (cc.)
