Notes:
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 1063, where the headword adverb occurs (web address 1); cf.
omicron 366.
LSJ s.v. cites a papyrus with (unless it is corrupt) the phrase
panourgiko\n cu/lon, 'gallows-wood.' Thus the adverb
panourgikw=s could be translated 'gallows-worthy,' an apt description of dishonest bartenders ancient and modern.
[2] Apparently a paraphrase (tentatively attributed by Adler to Symeon Metaphrastes) of
Isaiah 1.22
LXX.
