Translation
[Meaning] wooden, as one might say stony [li/qinos ]; for every [kind of] wood is called dru=s ["oak"], according to the generic [use] of this [word].1 Also [sc. illustrative of this generic use are] the a)kro/drua ["tree-fruits"],2 dru/faktoi ["railings made of split wood"],3 drumoi/ ["thickets"],4 do/rata ["stems, trees, planks, shafts"],5 dou/reios i(/ppos ["wooden horse"],6 and drupe/peis e)la/ai ["olives ripened on the tree"].7
Perhaps alsodrupetei=s , the [olives] that fall from the tree. So drupepei=s [are] those which among us [are called] r(oupa/tai .8

Δρύινος· ξύλινος, ὡς ἄν τις εἴποι λίθινος· πᾶν γὰρ ξύλον δρῦς καλεῖται κατὰ τὸ γενικὸν ἀπὸ τούτου. καὶ τὰ ἀκρόδρυα καὶ δρύφακτοι καὶ δρυμοὶ καὶ δόρατα καὶ δούρειος ἵππος καὶ δρυπέπεις ἐλάαι. ἴσως καὶ δρυπετεῖς αἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ δένδρου πεσοῦσαι. δρυπεπεῖς οὖν αἱ παρ' ἡμῖν ῥουπάται.
