Notes:
Pestle, δοίδυξ (delta 1560) is the equivalent of κοχλιάριον in ps-Zonaras 560. Hesychius, delta2099, gives ἀλετρίβανος , 'grinder', as a gloss. See also ps-Herodian 24.
The present headword occurs in the historian Idomeneus of Lampsacus FGrH 338 F14, preserved in Plutarch, Life of Phocion 4.2. (Idomeneus claims that Phocion's father plied this trade; Plutarch disagrees.)
