Philo Judaeus De Sobrietate 36

In all these cases, besides the aforesaid names derived from their profession, ¹ other names akin to the former ones are added with reference to their work; so that we predicate of the architect that he builds, of the painter that he portrays, of the farmer that he cultivates the land, of the musician that he plays the flute or the harp, or that he sings, or does something similar.
