Κοίλου κρατῆρος

of a hollow crater

[Meaning] of the recess; for they used to call hollows this by metaphor; hence also the cavities in Aetna are called 'craters'. Sophocles [writes]: "in the vicinity of a hollow crater."

Κοίλου κρατῆρος· τοῦ μυχοῦ· τὰ γὰρ κοῖλα οὕτως ἐκάλουν ἐκ μεταφορᾶς· ὅθεν καὶ τὰ ἐν τῇ Αἴτνῃ κοιλώματα κρατῆρες καλοῦνται. Σοφοκλῆς· κοίλου πέλας κρατῆρος.
