A popular leader at Athens. And he was stealing the property of the people and, after being caught in the act, was ruined, as Aristophanes maintains.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πάμφιλος, δημαγωγὸς Ἀθήνησι. καὶ ἔκλεπτε τὰ τοῦ δήμου καὶ φωραθεὶς ἐπ' αὐτοφώρῳ κατελύθη, ὥς φησιν Ἀριστοφάνης.

Notes
- Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 174, simply mentions this Pamphilos; the actual information about him comes from the scholia on the line. This episode, probably in 389/8, put an end to a promising military career: see the bibliography below.
cf. phi 663.
