ἀντηρίς

English (LSJ)

ίδος, ἡ,

   A prop, stay, support, E.Fr.1111: pl., Plb.8.4.6; stanchion or strut in torsion-engines, Ph.Bel.76.16, Hero Bel.101.9; ἀρκύων X.Cyn.10.7; in Th.7.36 ἀντηρίδες are stay-beams fixed inside a ship's bow, and projecting beyond it, so as to support and strengthen the ἐπωτίδες.    II=θυρίς, window, Suid.:—and in E.Rh.785 it must mean nostrils, if it be the right reading. [ῐδος E. ll.cc.: hence ἀντήρειδες in Apollod.Poliorc.178.4, Hero Bel.101.9, is wrong; so -είδιον ib.89.4 is f.l. for -ίδιον as Inscrr. show.] (-ηρῐδ = -ερῐδ-, weak form of stem of ἐρείδω (cf. ἔρις).)
