[Meaning] they grind.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀλετρεύουσιν· ἀλήθουσιν.

Betacode

*)aletreu/ousin: a)lh/qousin.

Notes

The headword is third person plural, present indicative active, of the epic/poetic verb a)letreu/w. Same entry in Hesychius s.v., where Latte notes its origin: Homer, Odyssey 7.104.
