Headword:
*moxqhro/s
Adler number: mu,1310
Translated headword: wicked, depraved, nasty, wretched
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Also [sc. attested is]
mo/xqhros with proparoxytone accent.[1].
[Meaning] painful, or toilsome.[2]
In the orators a bad [man] is understood [sc. by this word].[3]
Also
moxqhri/a ["wickedness"] is applied to badness. Thus
Dinarchus [sc. uses it].[4] Antiphon, the earliest of the orators,[5] used the [term]
moxqhro/s not in reference to the man [who is] bad and is being brought into a court of justice in order that he may be prosecuted; instead, he assigned the [term]
moxqhro/s to a father who had obtained leave to bring a suit on behalf of his slaughtered son. And thus he declares in Proems and Perorations: "and I the wretched one, who ought to have died, I live as a laughing-stock to my enemies."[6]

Notes:
The headword is the masculine nominative singular of the adjective
moxqhro/s, -a, -on; cf. LSJ s.v. A cognate substantive appears in the first quotation; cf.
mu 1308,
mu 1309, and other cognates at
mu 1307 and
mu 1311. On the variation of accent, see LSJ s.v. and cf.
pi 2041.
[1] The Suda uses an adverbial form of the adjective
proparocu/tonos, -on, meaning
having an acute accent on the antepenultimate syllable (Dickey, p. 255).

Lexicon (mu562 Theodoridis),

[3] Adler notes that in his pioneering study on Suda source texts, Wentzel linked the reference to "rhetoricians" here with the use by the Suda's compilers of an early rhetorical lexicon from which Bekker's
Fifth Lexicon, the
*le/ceis r(htorikai/, was derived (Bekker, pp. 195-318); cf. Adler, p. xvii; and Wentzel, pp. 477-487. The
Fifth Lexicon contains the lemma-gloss pair
moxqhro/n, kako/n (Bekker, 281.24); but cf.
Photius loc.cit. with the extra gloss
h)\ kako/s.
