[286] ἀγέρωχον. This word has thoroughly exercised the ingenuity of etymologists. Aristonicus and the older commentators regarded it as equivalent to “γεράοχος”. Hesych. and Et. Mag. “διὰ τὸ ἀγείρειν ὀχὴν τούτεστι τὴν τροφήν”. Modern philologists have proposed “ἀγείρεινὄχους”—‘currus colligere;’ “ἀγείρεινὠκύς”, etc., etc. Buttm. and Lobeck, not unnaturally, despaired of any derivation being discoverable.
