ἔρχατος
μηδ' εἰς ὀρχηστρίδος εἰσᾴττειν, ἵνα μὴ πρὸς ταῦτα κεχηνὼς μήλῳ βληθεὶς ὑπὸ πορνιδίου τῆς εὐκλείας ἀποθραυσθῇς → and not to dart into the house of a dancing-woman, lest, while gaping after these things, being struck with an apple by a wanton, you should be damaged in your reputation

Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: φραγμός H.
Other forms: Also ἕρκατος φραγμός, ἑρκάτη φυλακή.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: In itself the change κ\/χ might point to a Pre-Greek word. One may have been influenced by ἔρκος (s.v.). There is also ἑρκάνη, ὁρκάνη. Latte corrects ἑρκάτη in ἑρκάνη, which is in any case too uncertain. Cf. also ὄρχατος orchard; perhaps adapted to ἐρχατόωντο (ξ 15), which belongs to εἴργω; s. v. - Acc. to Fraenkel KZ 72, 193ff. to Lith. sérgėti protect, guard.
