The screen may have been folded back and the shop opened as early as the Fifth Ahn, for the shops of craftsmen commonly open early, and commonly close in the late afternoon, which economy conserves on candles and lamp oil. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 41, Sentence #71)

I had crossed the street, to be less conspicuous when I had passed the shop of Epicrates, which was now open, the wooden screen folded back and secured. I did see Epicrates at his wheel.

The screen may have been folded back and the shop opened as early as the Fifth Ahn, for the shops of craftsmen commonly open early, and commonly close in the late afternoon, which economy conserves on candles and lamp oil. Breakfast and lunch, by the craftsmen, are often taken in the shop itself. The markets commonly keep similar hours, produce brought in early from the fields.
