At Athens those were "sukophantia" whose business it was to inform
against any one whom they might detect exporting figs out of Attica;
and as sometimes they seemed to extort money from those loath to be
exposed, the name "sukophantes" from the time of Aristophanes down
was a general term of opprobrium to designate, a malignant and base
accuser from love of gain.
