LSJ considers this term as a falsa lectio for δασπλῆτις , horrid, frightful (see web address 1). It occurs in Lycophron, Alexandra 1452, where the writer describes νάπας (valleys) which he qualifies as δυσπλήτιδας . Tzetzes, in the scholion, explains that valleys δυσπλήτιδες are “difficult to reach” (αἱ δυσκόλως πληττομέναι ), while those δασπλήτιδας are “terrifying” (καταπλήκται ).
