English (LSJ)

εος, τό, (αἰπύς)

   A height, steep, A.Ag.285,309, etc.; πρὸς αἶπος ὁδοιπορῆσαι, ἰέναι to toil up-hill, Hp.Morb.2.51,70; πρὸς αἶπος ἔρχεται, metaph. of a difficult task, E.Alc.500: hence αἶ. (v.l. ἆπος ) ἐκβαλὼν ὁδοῦ, i.e. the weariness of the ascent (expl. by Hsch. as κάματος), Id.Ph.851 (unless ἐκβαλών = 'forgetting').

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

αἶπος: -εος, τό, (αἰπύς) ὕψωμα, ἀκρώρεια, κρημνὸς ἀπότομος, Αἰσχύλ. Ἀγ. 285, 309, κτλ. πρβλ. ἀπότομος: ― πρὸς αἶπος ἰέναι, ὁδοιπορεῖν, ἀναβαίνω μετὰ κόπου ὕψωμα, Ἱππ. 479. 17 καὶ 44., 485. 51· πρὸς αἶπος ἔρχεται, μεταφ. ἐπὶ δυσκόλου ἔργου, Εὐρ. Ἄλκ. 500 καὶ τὸ ἐν Φοιν. 851· αἶπος ἐκβαλὼν ὁδοῦ (τὸ κοπῶδες τῆς ὁδοιπορίας) εἶναι ἡ πιθανωτέρα φαίνεται γραφή, διότι ὁ Ἡσύχ. ἔχει γλῶσσ. «αἶπος· κάματος.» Πρβλ. Εὐστ. 381. 19 (ἔνθα ὅμως ἐν τῷ κειμένῳ εἶναι ἆπος).
