χ88Χαραδραῖος λέων
ravine lion
[Meaning] one [which lives] in the ravines. Unless it means the Thespian [lion], which was the first one Heracles killed, in Thespiae. That place is called "Ravine" (xara/dra).
Χαραδραῖος λέων· ὁ παρὰ ταῖς χαράδραις. εἰ μὴ τὸν Θεσπιακὸν λέγει, ὃν πρῶτον ἀνεῖλεν Ἡρακλῆς ἐν Θεσπιαῖς. Χαράδρα δὲ καλεῖται ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος.
