[Meaning] he who thinks quickly, and acts cunningly like fire.
*pu=r pala/mh: o( taxe/ws ti e)pinow=n, kai\ palamw/menos i)/sa puri/.
What the Suda presents as a two-word headword phrase,
pu=r pala/mh, should actually be a single-word adjective.
Photius, whose entry (pi1570 Theodoridis) is otherwise the same as the present one, gives it as
purpala/mhn;
Pindar has an instance of
purpa/lamos (of a thunderbolt), for which cf. also
Hesychius.
cf. generally
pi 39,
pi 40,
pi 41,
pi 47,
pi 48.
