Adler number: theta,135
Translated headword: Theognetos, Theognetus

Miser,

Greek Original:*qeo/gnhtos, kwmiko/s. tw=n drama/twn au)tou= e)sti *fa/sma h)\ *fila/rguros, *filode/spotos, *ke/ntauros: w(s *)aqh/naios e)n *deipnosofistai=s.
Notes:
C3 BCE (Late New-Comedy era); OCD(4) s.v.; Kassel-Austin, PCG 7.696-698.
[1] See
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 3.104B [3.63 Kaibel] ('
Ghost or
Miser') and 14.616A [14.5 Kaibel] (
Master-lover). But
Athenaeus mentions no
Centaur of his, and Adler was surely wrong to endorse Volkmann's view that this is a reference to 15.699F [15.57 Kaibel], where a dithyrambic poem called
Centaurs (sic) is attributed to the lyric poet
Theodoridas of Syracuse.
