Footnotes
Oikonomos (οἰκονόμος) is not a generic manager but the trusted administrator of a wealthy household — responsible for finances, staff, and resources — framing the overseer as accountable to the divine owner. Authādēs (αὐθάδης) denotes one who pleases himself regardless of others — arrogant self-assertion. Paroinos (πάροινος) is literally "beside wine," describing one who lingers around wine habitually, not merely someone occasionally drunk.
