[Meaning] a grinding-implement. Aristophanes [writes]: "that if this man had not become great in the city, two useful implements would not exist, a pestle and a grinder". See in the entry a)letri/banos ['grinder'].
Δοῖδυξ· ὁ ἀλετρίβανος. Ἀριστοφάνης· ὡς εἰ μὴ γένοιθ' οὗτος ἐν τῇ πόλει μέγας, οὐκ ἂν ἤστην σκεύη δύο χρησίμω, δοῖδυξ καὶ ἀλετρίβανος. ζήτει ἐν τῷ ἀλετρίβανος.
