Thanks, Herman.  The reading apaviyayata (alpavyayatā) and its rendering "Mässigkeit im ausgeben" shows that this is unrelated to apavyaya in the sense of improper or wasteful use of money or time.  Best,

Ulrich Schneider's German translation of sentence D runs as follows:

Gut is Gehorsam gegen Vater und Mutter; gegenüber Freunden, Bekannten und Verwandten und gegenüber Brāhmaṇas und Śramaṇas is Freigebigkeit gut, gegenüber Tieren is Nich-Töten gut; Mässigkeit im ausgeben und Für-Sich-Behalen ist gut (... sādhu apaviyayatā apabhaṃḍatā sādhu).

I absolutely agree. Most probably Wilson's entry (MW's presumable
source here) goes back to the information given by contemporary
Pandits which fits perfectly well in the fact that the lemma apavyaya
is lacking in both of the Petersburg dictionaries.
