- ἀνδροφόνος androphónos · G409 · murderer
- Both terms denote a person who commits murder. The attestation is asymmetric (ἀνδροφόνος (androphónos, G409) occurs once in a vice catalog, φονεύς (phoneús, G5406) seven times across broader contexts), suggesting that while the terms overlap semantically, their usage patterns and register may differ, with φονεύς (phoneús, G5406) being the more common term for a criminal homicide perpetrator.
