ajrgaiv depends upon the verb
manqavnousi (which would mean they learn to be idle, or learn idleness; so Bretschneider (Lexicon, under the word 2 b.), and Winer's Grammar, 347 (325f); (cf. Stallbaum's note and references on Plato's Euthydemus, p. 276 b.)), nor
periercovmenoi (they learn to go about from house to house, -- so the majority of interpreters; for, according to uniform Greek usage, a participle joined to the verb
manqavnein and belonging to the subject denotes what sort of a person one learns or perceives himself to be, as

e[gkuo"
ou\sa, she perceived herself to be with child, Herodotus 1, 5); but
manqavnein must be taken absolutely (see a. above) and emphatically, of what they learn by going about from house to house and what it is unseemly for them to know; cf. Bengel ad loc, and Buttmann, sec. 144, 17; (so Wordsworth, in the place cited). (Compare:
