Φρεάτια· τὰ βαθέα ὀρύγματα. πᾶσαν ἐδῄωσε τὴν γῆν, μήτε τῶν φρεατίνων ναμάτων φεισάμενος. καὶ αὖθις· φρεατίας δὲ εἶχεν ὁ τόπος ἀγνοουμένας. καὶ Φρεατία, ὄρυξις.

Notes (4)
- 1Likewise in Hesychius, the Synagoge, and Photius' Lexicon. The neuter plural headword means, strictly speaking, small wells, as this noun is the diminutive of
fre/ar (cf. phi 697). ↩ - 2Quotation unidentifiable. (For the adjective in the second clause in it, Adler reports that mss GFVM have
freati/wn , and this reading is presupposed in LSJ s.v.; however, Adler printsfreati/nwn and refers also to Porson's conjecturefreatiai/wn .) ↩ - 3An approximation of Polybius 10.28.2, on the desert terrain east of the Caspian Gates. ↩
- 4Instances in Xenophon and elsewhere. ↩
