One who pretends to be rich.
Greek Original:
*yeuda/macus: o( yeudo/ploutos.
Notes:
The headword is attested only here in this form, and incorrectly so. It should be (as it is in Hesychius) yeudama/macus, taken from Aristophanes, Wasps 326.
MacDowell ad loc. explores several possibilities for how, precisely, the metaphor works.
Reference:
Aristophanes, Wasps, edited with introduction and commentary by Douglas MacDowell (Oxford 1971)
