Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀγοραῖος (rarely ), (ἀγορά), relating to the marketplace;
1. frequenting the market-place (either transacting business, as the κάπηλοί, or) sauntering idly (Latinsubrostranus,subbasilicanus, german Pfiastertreter, our loafer): Act 17:5 (Plato, Prot. 347 c. ἀγοραῖοι καί φαῦλοι, Aristophanes ran. 1015, others).
2. of affairs usually transacted in the marketplace: ἀγοραῖοι (namely, ἡμέραι (Winer’s grammar, 590 (549)) or σύνοδοι (Meyer and others)) ἄγονται, judicial days or assemblies (A. V. marginal reading court-days), Act 19:38 (τὰς ἀγοραίους ποιεῖσθαι, Strabo 13, p. 932), but many think we ought to read ἀγοραῖοι here, so g L cf. Winers grammar, 53 (52); but see (Alford and Tdf. at the passage; Lipsius, gram. Untersuch., p. 26;) Meyer on Act 17:5; göttling, p. 297; (Chandler edition 1, p. 269).
