"The philosopher avoided this man as one fury-driven."

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ποινήλατον· τοῦτον ὡς ποινήλατον ὁ φιλόσοφος ἐξετρέπετο.

Betacode

*poinh/laton: tou=ton w(s poinh/laton o( filo/sofos e)cetre/peto.

The headword, evidently extracted from the quotation which follows, is masculine accusative singular of the (very rare) adjective in question. Tentatively attributed by Adler to Damascius; now his Life of Isidore fr. 297 Zintzen, 113Q Athanassiadi.
cf. generally pi 3096.
