Translation: Aeschines in the speech
Against Timarchos calls men who are very agitated by the love of boys "wild men".[1] And
Menander says a gambler is "wild" if he is too eager for gambling.[2]
The ancients used to call pederasts "wild" and
kollopodioktes[3].
[Note] that the comic poets used to make fun of the Acharnians as wild and rough. See under
drakharneu.[4]
Greek Original:Ἀγρίους: Αἰσχίνης ἐν τῷ κατὰ Τιμάρχου τοὺς σφόδρα ἐπτοημένους περὶ τὰ παιδικὰ οὕτως ὠνόμασε. καὶ Μένανδρος δὲ ἄγριον εἶπε κυβευτὴν τὸν λίαν περὶ τὸ κυβεύειν ἐσπουδακότα. ἀγρίους καὶ κολλοποδιώκτας ἐκάλουν οἱ παλαιοὶ τοὺς παιδεραστάς. ὅτι ἐκωμῳδοῦντο οἱ Ἀχαρνεῖς ὡς ἄγριοι καὶ σκληροί: καὶ ζήτει ἐν τῷ δραχαρνεῦ.
Notes:
The first two paragraphs of this entry come from Harpokration s.v. There, as again here, the headword noun is accusative plural.
