[Meaning] ladders.1
In the commentaries he explains it as the tops of battlements, that is to say crenellations; but in his observations on an anchorage [he explains it as] ladders.2

Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is accusative case of the noun (always found in the plural: see LSJ s.v.) kro/ssai. From Homer: see next note. Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa1110 Theodoridis, and next note. ↩
  2. 2Ultimately from commentary -- in which 'he' is probably Aristonicus -- on Homer, Iliad 12.258 (web address 1); cf. scholia ad loc., and cf. scholia to Homer, Iliad 14.35. Compare also Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (104.14); Hesychius kappa4199; Etymologicum Magnum 540.40. ↩
