The tiring of women's wrists through the continuous working of wool.

Ξανᾶν: πονεῖν τοὺς καρποὺς τὰς γυναῖκας τῶν χειρῶν διὰ συνεχῆ τῶν ἐρίων ἐργασίαν.
Note:
A techically correct definition, as this verb derives from the commoner one χαινειν , to work with wool (etc.). In attested instances of it outside lexicography, however, it has a more general sense of being tired. Cf. xi 2, and see LSJ s.v. (web address 1).
