[Meaning someone] willing treachery,[1] planning crooked things.
*kerdaleo/frwn: dolio/boulos, skolia\ bouleuo/menos.
Same or similar entry in other lexica, including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon (see the references at
Photius kappa596 Theodoridis). and cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 1.149, where the vocative singular of the headword occurs.
The adjective
kerdale/os (
kappa 1382) had already shifted in
Homer from "profitable" to "profit-seeking, cunning". LSJ (s.v.
kerdaleo/frwn) distinguishes between the meanings "greedy of gain" in the
Iliad (1.149 [above], 4.339), and "crafty" in
Oppian,
Cynegetica 2.29; but the distinction is artificial.
[1] This adjective,
dolio/boulos, is mostly restricted to lexicographers:
Hesychius,
Photius, the
Lexica Segueriana, and
delta 1342 glossing forms of
dolomh/ths;
Eudemus (2 CE?) glossing
a)gkulomh/ths. However Romanus the Melodist uses it to refer to the Serpent (
Hymns 38.2).
