Demosthenes in the [speech] On the Malconducted Embassy assigns the word to a mob, with the meaning of most/very untrustworthy and most/very unstable and making no guarantees because of instability.[1] Alternatively [meaning] pact-less and discordant; for agreements are pacts. Alternatively meaning most/very understanding-less. Homer [uses it] to mean something of which one cannot grasp the import. For he says: "and you, take heed and listen to me".[2]
