Greek display:    
Headword: Ξύλων ἐρεψίμων
Adler number: xi,99
Translated headword: roofing timbers
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
These are the wooden coverings, arranged over[1] houses.
Greek Original:
Ξύλων ἐρεψίμων: στεγάσματά ἐστι τὰ ἐρέψιμα, εἰς τὰς οἰκίας κατατεταγμένα.
Notes:
The headword phrase is in the genitive plural, and might therefore be a quotation; cf. Photius s.v. and Timaeus, Lexicon Platonicum s.v., where it is similarly glossed. However, if the entry in Timaeus was prompted by Plato, Critias 111C, only the adjective ἐρεψίμων is quoted.
[1] Literally "into" (as is regular with this verb).
Keywords: architecture; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; philosophy; science and technology
