Translation

[Meaning] to bind around, to attach around. Xenophon [writes]: "he instructs [them] to tie sacks around the hooves of the horses and the dray animals, when they are going through snow, so that they do not sink."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Περιδεῖν· περιδεσμεῖν, περιάπτειν. Ξενοφῶν· ὁ δὲ διδάσκει περὶ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἵππων καὶ τῶν ὑποζυγίων σακκία περιδεῖν, ὅταν διὰ τῆς χιόνος ἄγωσι, διὰ τὸ μὴ καταδύεσθαι.

Notes (1)

  1. The headword is the present infinitive of peride/w, ostensibly extracted from the quotation given -- but see next note.
  2. 1An approximation of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.5.36, where (inter alia) the headword appears as a variant reading for perieilei=n ("to wrap around"). See the scholia to the passage, and Lexicon Vindobonense pi33. ↩
