Headword: *)agorai=os nou=s
Adler number: alpha,308
Translated headword: marketplace mind
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the one altogether cheap and vulgar and not elite or thoughtful.[1]

Greek Original:
*)agorai=os nou=s: o( paneutelh\s kai\ surfetw/dhs kai\ ou)k a)po/rrhtos ou)de\ pefrontisme/nos. kai\ *)agorai=os *(ermh=s: *)aristofa/nhs. nh\ to\n *(ermh=n to\n *)agorai=on ka)piorkw= ge ble/pwn. toute/stin o( e)n a)gora=| timw/menos.
Notes:
See generally LSJ s.v. agoraios (web address 1) for texts further illustrating both of these disparate senses (and note the comment there: "the distinction a)go/raios vulgar, a)gorai=os public speaker, drawn by Ammonius [a C1/2 grammarian] etc. is probably fictitious"); cf. alpha 309. See further D. Whitehead, Hypereides: the forensic speeches (Oxford 2000) 287.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius alpha233 Theodoridis.
[2] Aristophanes, Knights 297-8 (web address 2: the manuscript reading is "I perjure myself before those who are looking"), with scholion. The same epithet is attested, elsewhere, of Artemis, Athena and Zeus.
