*fwraqei/s: eu(reqei/s, gnwsqei/s. *pa/mfilos daneisth\s para\ *)aristofa/nei: o(\s fwraqei\s e)p' au)tofw/rw| katelu/qh.
Notes:
The headword is the aorist passive participle, masculine nominative and vocative singular, of the verb fwra/w, I search after a thief, detect, discover; see phi 664, and generally LSJ s.v. It is presumably generated from the following note, which is taken from the scholia to Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 174 (web address 1).
[1] The headword is identically glossed in the Synagoge and Lexica Segueriana 411.18; cf. Etymologicum Magnum 804.8 (Kallierges) and Hesychius. Adler also cites the Etymologicum Genuinum.
[2] Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 174 (web address 1) mentions Pamphilos (Pamphilus, Develin person no. 2239). This note is from the scholia to the line, which records the embezzling incident (389/8 BCE) that ended Pamphilos' military and political career; cf. pi 144.
