Headword:
*paxei=s
Adler number: pi,830
Translated headword: thicks
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Attic writers customarily call the wealthy [this].[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "how ignorant you are, and thick."[2] Meaning imperceptive and thick when it comes to intellect.
And
Herodotus [writes]: "men of the 'thicks' were being driven by the populace out of
Naxos."[3]
*pa/xhs ["stout"] differs from
paxu/s ["thick"]: 'stout' is the term for the adipose, but 'thick' for the imperceptive and the wealthy.
Both 'thick' and 'ancient' are applied in reference to a stupid man in the old[er] writers.
[Note] that the parts of skins thick with fat become broader when softened by salts; so he might be benefited, says Strepsiades, when the thickness is cleaned away. Sprinkled with salts:
Aristophanes is making fun of him by crafting the language as if in reference to a winesack. Also see under 'rubbed with salts'.[4]
Interpretation of a dream: if heavy of body you will have an extremely bad reputation.[5]

Notes:
[1] =
Photius pi500 Theodoridis; cf.
Pollux 6.197, glosses to
Herodotus 5.30.1 (below), and the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Wasps 288 (where the phrase
a)nh\r paxu\s h(/kei occurs). The headword is masculine nominative/accusative plural of the adjective
paxu/s. Perhaps derived from commentary on
Aristophanes,
Peace 639, where both the headword and the gloss used here are found in conjunction.
[2]
Aristophanes,
Clouds 842.
[3]
Herodotus 5.30.1 (verbally rearranged), on events of the early C5 BCE.
[4]
alpha 1409. This phrase is a quotation of
Aristophanes,
Clouds 1237, from the commentary to which most of this paragraph is derived.
[5] From the dream-interpretations, in verse, attributed to
Astrampsychus (
alpha 4251).
