Headword: Φρεάτια
Adler number: phi,699
Translated headword: wells
Vetting Status: low

Deep excavations.[1]
"He ravaged the entire land, not even sparing the well streams."[2]
And elsewhere: "but the place had cisterns unknown [sc. to outsiders]".[3]
Also [sc. attested is the related feminine noun] φρεατία ["cistern"], excavation.
Greek Original:
Φρεάτια: τὰ βαθέα ὀρύγματα. πᾶσαν ἐδῄωσε τὴν γῆν, μήτε τῶν φρεατίνων ναμάτων φεισάμενος. καὶ αὖθις: φρεατίας δὲ εἶχεν ὁ τόπος ἀγνοουμένας. καὶ Φρεατία, ὄρυξις.
Notes:
[1] = Synagoge. (The neuter plural headword means, strictly speaking, small wells, as this noun is the diminutive of φρέαρ [cf. phi 697].)
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (For the adjective in the second clause in it, mss GFVM have φρεατίων , and this reading is presupposed in LSJ s.v.; however, Adler prints φρεατίνων and refers also to Porson's conjecture φρεατιαίων .)
[3] An approximation of Polybius 10.28.2, on the desert terrain E of the Caspian Gates.
