α3205Ἀπιθής
inflexible, unyielding
[Meaning] that which is difficult and hard to climb for those who want to go. "Alalkomenai is a city; and I hear that it neither lies on an elevated and unyielding hill-top nor has a circuit of walls."
Ἀπιθής· ὁ δυσχερὴς καὶ δυσανάβατος τοῖς βαίνειν ἐθέλουσιν. Ἀλαλκομεναὶ πόλις ἐστί· καὶ ἀκούω αὐτὴν μήτε ἐφ' ὑψηλοῦ κεῖσθαι καὶ ἀπιθοῦς λόφου μήτε τειχῶν περίβολον ἔχειν.
