[Meaning a] small wall, parapet, enclosure.1
Babrius [writes]: "a wolf was passing a fence, when a ram, peeping over the top, said many insulting things to him."2
"Plato extolling dialectic philosophy calls it the fence of philosophy".3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τριγχός· τειχίον, στεφάνη, περίφραγμα. Βάβριος· λύκος παρῄει τριγχόν, ἔνθεν ἐκκύψας ἀρνειὸς αὐτὸν ἔλεγε πολλὰ βλασφήμως. ὅτι Πλάτων τὴν διαιρετικὴν φιλοσοφίαν ἐξυμνῶν τριγχὸν φιλοσοφίας αὐτὴν λέγει.
