Translation
[Meaning] brazen-footed. That is, having strong hooves; for what happens is that the ground resonates and rings out, hammered by the feet of the horses.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Χαλκοκρότων· χαλκοπόδων. τουτέστι τὰς ὁπλὰς ἰσχυρὰς ἐχόντων· συμβαίνει γὰρ ἠχεῖν τὴν γῆν καὶ κτυπεῖν, ἐπικρουομένην τοῖς ποσὶ τῶν ἵππων.
