[Meaning] stingy, and illiberal.
*sko/luqron: sknipo/n, kai\ a)neleu/qeron.
=
Photius sigma357 Theodoridis, taken to come from
Pausanias the Atticist (sigma18); and cf. already
Hesychius sigma1076. The only literary attestation of the headword -- which is either masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective -- comes in a fragment of
Teleclides' lost comedy
Amphictyons (fr. 3 Kock and K.-A.), in a context in which just about any pejorative connotation would be appropriate. Several ancient authorities connect the adjective to the noun
sko/luqron or
skolu/qrion, meaning 'footstool' (cf.
sigma 569), the idea presumably being that a person who is
sko/luqros is low like a footstool; cf.
Pausanias,
Hesychius,
Theognostus 34. The tenor of the present gloss is etymological, implying that
sko/luqron is a combination of
sknipo/n ('stingy') and
a)neleu/qeron ('illiberal').
