Greek display:    
Headword: Ἐγκύρτια
Adler number: epsilon,138
Translated headword: fish-trap entrance, weel entrance
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
The woven parts in fish-traps. And Plato uses the term in Timaeus for the throat.[1]
Greek Original:
Ἐγκύρτια: τὰ ἐν τοῖς κύρτοις ἐνυφάσματα. Πλάτων δὲ χρῆται ἐν Τιμαίῳ ἐπὶ τῆς φάρυγγος τῇ λέξει.
Notes:
A weel is a simple fish-trap constructed (often of wickerwork or netting) with a narrow entrance so that fish swim in but not out. The Greek definition here (from Timaeus' Lexicon Platonicum) is not very clear, as my translation is meant to show.
[1] Plato, Timaeus 78B (web address 1).
