precinct, stump

Translation
The inner chamber of the shrine, a temple, a house, a tomb.
"Entering the precinct of the captives they ordered [someone] to announce [...]".1 Meaning [entering] the house.
They also apply the word to olive-trees,2 for Lysias says: "he farmed for two years and [had taken over] no olive-tree, whether private or sekos [stump]".3 So perhaps they call private [trees] "olives" and public ones "moriai"; and it seems that "stump" and "moria" are their names for the same thing.4

Greek original · Adler’s text
Σηκός· ὁ ἐνδότερος οἶκος τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ναός, οἶκος, τάφος. παραγενόμενοι δὲ εἰς τὸν σηκὸν τῶν αἰχμαλώτων ἐκέλευον κηρύττειν. ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰς τὸν οἶκον. τάττουσι δὲ τὸ ὄνομα καὶ ἐπὶ ἐλαίας· λέγει γὰρ Λυσίας· ὃς δύο ἔτη ἐγεώργησεν οὔτε ἰδίαν ἐλαίαν οὔτε μορίαν οὔτε σηκόν. μήποτε οὖν τὰς μὲν ἰδιωτικὰς ἐλαίας καλοῦσι, τὰς δὲ δημοσίας μορίας. σηκὸν δέ, ὡς ἔοικε, καὶ μορίαν ὀνομάζουσι τὴν αὐτήν.
