Translation

[Meaning] the sharpness of a spear, the sharp [part] of a lance.¹
Arrian [writes]: "they had heavy spears six cubits [long]; there was no iron point on them, but their fire-hardened sharp [end] accomplished the same thing."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀκωκή· ἡ ὀξύτης τοῦ δόρατος, τὸ ὀξὺ τῆς λόγχης. Ἀρριανός· λόγχας δὲ εἶχον παχείας ἑξαπήχεας· ἀκωκὴ δὲ οὐχ ὑπῆν σιδηρέη, ἀλλὰ τὸ ὀξὺ αὐταῖς πεπυρακτωμένον ταὐτὸ ἐποίησεν.
