Entry also in Photius (pi1099 Theodoridis) attributed by Wentzel to Aelius Dionysius.
Given the moralising slant, it is probably [DW] generated by Thucydides 8.48.6, where the Athenian oligarch Phrynichus is made to speak of 'providers and introducers of evils to the people' (accusative case; web address 1).
For the headword noun in more straightforward, literal senses see under pi 1799, chi 487.
