Headword:
Panourgos
Adler number: pi,212
Translated headword: crafty
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] one who does everything in wickedness. But one who is very wise and knowledgable is also so called.[1]
We say "o crafty one" more/rather moderately, but Attic [writers apply it] to serious blasphemies.[2]
Aristophanes [writes]: "the crafty one, the crafty one! I'll say it over and over, because he is crafty over and over during the day."[3] Also [sc. attested is] "crafty-Hipparchides-es." He is mocking these men -- Tisamenos and Phainippos and Hipparchides and the bald old man and
Theodorus -- for being crafty, and [calls them] "Diomeiarrogant" because they are from the deme of Diomeia, which was so named for a certain Diomos.[4]
They interpret "crafty" [to mean] "wise". See also under "self-control."[5]

Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius pi159 Theodoridis. For the material itself cf. broadly
Aristotle,
EN 144a27-28.
[2] cf. scholion on
Aristophanes,
Frogs 35.

Aristophanes,
Knights 249-250.
[4]
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 603-605, with scholion. Tisamenos was a mythical king of
Athens; Phainippos and Hipparchides are probably fictional mock-noble names (with hipp- in them, "horse", a typical aristocratic onomastic feature); Theodoros was probably likewise fictional. Diomeia was a deme along the R.
Ilissos, just south of the city walls:
delta 1161. The lexicographer's etymology for its name is a guess.

epsilon 124 and
