Λάκκος

[A way of referring to] death; since the grave is dug very much like a pit. David [says]: "and I will be made like those who go down into the pit."¹ The holy Scripture is also accustomed to use this name for the great dangers: "and he led me up from the pit of wretchedness."²
Interpretation of a dream: to let oneself down into a pit, this [is] not good.³
