*)ari/frwn: o( kakw=s fronw=n.

So the transmitted text - but one should obviously emend (with Kuster) from kakw=s to kalw=s ("he who thinks well"), as (according to Adler) in the Ambrosian Lexicon s.v.
The proper name Ariphron is attested in Athens (esp. as the first known member of the family of Perikles) and elsewhere.
