Ἁμαξιτόν· ὁδὸν δημοσίαν. Μάλχος· ἡ δὲ εἰσβολὴ τῆς Κιλικίας ἁμαξιτὸς ἦν ὁδός, ὀρθία ἰσχυρῶς καὶ ἀμήχανος εἰσελθεῖν στρατεύματι, εἴ τις ἐκώλυεν.

Notes (3)
- The headword, which has the same glossing in other lexica, is accusative case. It is quoted (as Latte notes on Hesychius s.v.) from Homer, Iliad 22.146; cf. the scholia there.
- 1Literally, one on which it is possible to travel in a wagon or cart,
a(/maxa (alpha 1486). ↩ - 2A sophist and historian of the fourth century CE: see mu 120. The quotation is not from him, however, but from a much earlier writer (see next note), and indeed the word
a(macito/s is common enough in all periods. ↩ - 3Xenophon, Anabasis 1.2.21 (see web address 1). ↩
