Ἄξοον· τὸ ἄτμητον.

Betacode

*)/acoon: to\ a)/tmhton.

Same entry in Hesychius, ps.-Zonaras, and (according to Adler) the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective here (and thus quoted from somewhere), but best-known (as feminine) in the phrase "uncarved board" (a)/coos sani/s) in Callimachus, Aetia fr. 100.
