Καιροφυλάκιον.

Betacode

*kairofula/kion.

Notes

Same entry (with the headword unglossed) in the Synagoge and Photius' Lexicon. The neuter headword, otherwise unattested, is related to the verb kairofulake/w (kappa 1191), which can refer to watching the times of stars (Lampe s.v.); perhaps the noun designates some kind of astronomical instrument.
