[Meaning a] mound. Also [sc. attested is the phrase] hewn stone.¹ Herodotus [sc. uses the headword thus].

Χυτόν· χῶμα. καὶ ὁ ξεστὸς λίθος. Ἡρόδοτος.

Betacode

*xuto/n: xw=ma. kai\ o( cesto\s li/qos. *(hro/dotos.

Notes (1)

From glosses on Herodotus 7.37.1 (where the plural of the headword occurs: web address 1); cf. Hesychius.
cf. chi 620.
1For this see generally LSJ s.v. cesto/s, 2. (Here it might appear to be an interruption to the rest of the entry, but in fact Herodotus uses this phrase too: 2.124.5, genitive case.)
