Διαιτητήριον· ἐν ᾧ διαιτῶνται.
Betacode
*diaithth/rion: e)n w(=| diaitw=ntai.
Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
The headword, a neuter noun, is unlikely to be related to the technical meaning ofdiaita/w as "arbitrate" (cf. delta 888, delta 890, etc.), which would require it to bear the otherwise-unattested meaning 'arbitration-place' or the like. Rather, in attested instancesdiaithth/rion is a "living-room", derived from the primary meaning of the verb ("lead one's life", "dwell"; LSJ at web address 1). See Xenophon, Oeconomicus 9.4 (plural), possibly the genesis of the entry; Procopius, On Buildings 1.9.9 (singular).
