Ὄρειον πρέμνον καὶ Ὄρειος ὁμίχλη.
Betacode

Notes
- Two unglossed illustrations of the application of the adjective
o)/reios , 'mountain(y)'. The first phrase is unattested elsewhere, but the second occurs in Plutarch, Flamininus 4, from where it might therefore be quoted.
See also omicron 540, omicron 541, omicron 545, omicron 550.
For 'stump' see generally pi 2243; for 'mist', omicron 258.
