Klepht
Klephts were highwaymen that turned self-appointed armatoloi, anti-Ottoman insurgents, and warlike mountain-folk who lived in the countryside when Greece and Cyprus were a part of the Ottoman Empire. They were the descendants of Greeks who retreated into the mountains during the fifteenth century in order to avoid Ottoman oppression. They carried on a continuous war against Ottoman rule and remained active as brigands until the nineteenth century. The terms kleptomania and kleptocracy are derived from the same Greek root, κλέπτειν, "to steal".
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Klepht
kleft, n. a Greek or Albanian brigand. [Gr., from kleptein, to steal.]
