Ad Fam VII.2

[Matthaeus]

mandatum tuum curabo diligenter. sed homo acutus ei mandasti potissimum, cui expediret illud venire quam plurimo.

Weird. Does this go with ei and cui? If so, I'm at a loss as to figuring out the semantics. Is it similar to quam plurimum?

 

[Dantius]

I think it is an ablative of price ("for whom it was convenient that that be sold for as high a price as possible")

 

[Pacifica]

Yep, that's what it is.

 

[Dantius]

(and, as follows from that translation, that is vēnīre, not venīre)
