Translation
[Meaning a] chasm.1
Aristophanes [writes]: "crushing crags".2 That is sending and hurling crags at [them]. He has said [this] after "thunder-hurling;" this also is excessively grand.
Homer also calls a height "crag", since all lofty places [are] crags.3
Interpretation of a dream: "falling from a crag indicates misfortune."4

Κρημνός· φάραγξ. Ἀριστοφάνης· κρημνοὺς ἐρείδων. τουτέστι κρημνοὺς ἐπιπέμπων καὶ ἀκοντίζων. ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλασίμβροτα εἴληφε, καὶ ταῦτα ὑπέρογκα. Ὅμηρος καὶ τὴν ὄχθην κρημνὸν λέγει· ἐπειδὴ πάντα τὰ ὑψηλὰ κρημνοί. λύσις ὀνείρου· κρημνοῦ πεσόντα δυστυχῆ δηλοῖ τύχην.
