[Meaning] the ancient thief.
*)arxi/klopos: o( a)rxai=os kle/pths.
Same entry in ps.-
Zonaras; similar one, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon. They exhibit confusion between the prefix stem
a)rxi- ('chief', 'foremost') and the related but distinct adjective
a)rxai=os ('ancient').
LSJ s.v. accepts
a)rxi/klopos as a nominative, as glossed here. It might, however, be the genitive of
a)rxi/klwy (
Plutarch,
Aratus 6.2: genitive plural), here morphologically defective --
a)rxi/klopos rather than
a)rxi/klwpos -- and misconstrued as a nominative.
