περικνημίς
From LSJ
ὥσπερ γὰρ ζώου τῶν ὄψεων ἀφαιρεθεισῶν ἀχρειοῦται τὸ ὅλον, οὕτως ἐξ ἱστορίας ἀναιρεθείσης τῆς ἀληθείας τὸ καταλειπόμενον αὐτῆς ἀνωφελὲς γίνεται διήγημα → for just as a living creature which has lost its eyesight is wholly incapacitated, so if history is stripped of her truth all that is left is but an idle tale | for, just as closed eyes make the rest of an animal useless, what is left from a history blind to the truth is just a pointless tale
German (Pape)
[Seite 580] ῖδος, ἡ, Bedeckung der Wade, Beinschiene; D. Hal. 4, 16; Plut. Philop. 9.
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
περικνημίς: -ῖδος, ἡ, περικάλυμμα τῆς κνήμης, Διον. Ἁλ. 4. 16, Πλουτ. Φιλοπ. 9.
