Translation

[Meaning] avoidance and protection.¹
"Many died from the winter snow. And there was no escape [a)lewra/] of any kind, with each thinking it sufficient to save themselves [sc. and ignoring the rest]".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀλεωρή· ἔκκλισις καὶ φυλακή. πολλοὶ δὲ ὑπὸ χιόνος ἀπέθανον. καὶ οὐδ' ἡτισοῦν ἀλεωρὰ ἦν, ἑκάστων ἑαυτοὺς διασῴζειν ἱκανὸν ἡγουμένων.

Notes (1)

[1] Similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 12.57, where the headword noun occurs in the accusative case.
2Arrian, Parthica p.17 Roos (but not an actual numbered fragment there); it includes the headword in the form a)lewra/.
