I looked up "onomatothetes" in the Liddell & Scott Greek lexicon and it
says it is v.l. in recc. for nomothetes, in a different work, _Charmides_:

"But now, you see, we are worsted every way, and cannot discover what
thing it can possibly be to which the lawgiver gave this name,
temperance." (... kai ou dynametha heurein eph' hotoi pote ton onton ho
nomothetes touto tounoma etheto, ten sophrosynen.)

And that's about all I know ><
