Translation
Demosthenes [in the speech] Against Timokrates [sc. uses the word].1 The wood[en device] in the prison used to be called this; either with the other k interpolated, [i.e.] there being some harm [kakosis] of the feet2; or, as Didymus [sc. suggests], by abbreviation, as if [the full version were] foot-restraint.3
