Translation

[Meaning] prominence, summit. For the mountain was divided into three parts: into ridge, into slopes, into limit. The ridge is the summit, while the sides of the mountain [are its] slopes, and the last parts [its] limit.¹
Also [sc. attested are a mountain's] feet.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀκρώρεια· ἐξοχὴ, κορυφή. εἰς τρία γὰρ διῄρητο τὸ ὄρος, εἰς ἀκρώρειαν, εἰς ὑπώρειαν, εἰς τέρμα. ἀκρώρεια μέν ἐστιν ἡ κορυφή, ὑπώρεια δὲ τὰ πλευρὰ τοῦ ὄρους, τέρμα δὲ τὰ τελευταῖα. καὶ πόδες.

Notes (1)

[1] Same material in Photius and elsewhere; similar in Hesychius s.v. a)krwrei/ais (dative plural). For the earliest attested instance of the headword see Xenophon, Hellenica 7.2.10, at web address 1 (accusative plural).
cf. tau 346, upsilon 571 and upsilon 654.
2This addendum is not in other lexica. For the feet of a hill (and by extension, of a mountain) see LSJ s.v. pou=s II.1.
