Translation
[Meaning] the first door of the house [sc. as one enters] from the street.1
Also [sc. attested is the accusative plural] 'courtyard doors.' And for the singular they say auleion as we [do]. Aristophanes in Danaids [writes]: "...to bury the head of a hedgehog by the hinge of the courtyard [door]."2
But aulion and proaulion [forecourt] [are] neuter.
