Sophocles [writes]: "they made it over to a man unscrupulous at heart, having rejected the strengths of this man."[1]

Headword and glossing phrase are dative singular, the former extracted from the quotation given (see n. 1), where it refers to the character Odysseus.
The headword is a compound of Greek elements which, transcribed literally, would mean "all-doing". This is spelled out in the first gloss in synonymous terms. The later gloss translated as "mischief-making" is simply the same compound as it is more commonly spelled (
pa/nourgos vs. the headword's
pa/ntourgos).
