[Referring to] the middle part of the yard.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Μεσσαύλιος· ὁ μέσος τόπος τῆς αὐλῆς.

Betacode

*messau/lios: o( me/sos to/pos th=s au)lh=s.

Notes

The headword, out of alphabetical order, is a variant spelling of late mesau/lios (for Attic me/saulos) influenced by epic me/ssaulos. The gloss is repeated for mesau/lion at the right place in the alphabet, mu 647.
Similarly glossed in other lexica and a scholion on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.235 (where me/ssaulos occurs).
