Τρίλλη· τί σημαίνει; γέγραπται γὰρ ἐν τῷ τοῦ Ἀθηναίου Σίμωνος Ἱπποϊατρικῷ περὶ γνωρισμάτων φλεβῶν, ὅτι καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς τρίλλης εἰσὶ φλέβες δύο.

Notes

Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF.
This word, still as mysterious to LSJ (Suppl.) as it was to the lexicographer, is attested only here and in another veterinary treatise.
Simon's work is mentioned at the opening of Xenophon's On Horsemanship.
