a)/nqrwpos
Adler number: alpha,4714
Translated headword: uselessly-laughing fellow
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] someone laughing and delighting in things which are useless and not serious.
Greek Original:*)axreio/gelws a)/nqrwpos: o( e)pi\ toi=s a)xrh/stois kai\ mh\ spoudai/ois gelw=n kai\ xai/rwn.
Notes:
Same entry in other lexica (=
Phrynichus,
Praeparatio sophistica fr. 294); also in the late paroemiographer Michael
Apostolius (4.65).
The adjective in the phrase occurs in a fragment of
Cratinus (323 Kock, now 360 K.-A.). On what basis LSJ s.v. calls it an epithet of the Athenians is unclear.
