πλανήτην : cp. Eur. 878 ξένοι πλανήτην εἴχετ’ ἄθλιον βίον . The word is not in itself opprobrious: in 123 it is merely opp. to ἔγχωρος : cp. Plat. 371D καλοῦμεν...τοὺς...πλανήτας ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις, ἐμπόρους . In 1029 πλάνης , said by Oed. to the Corinthian, takes its colour from the added ἐπὶ θητείᾳ , "a vagrant hireling."
