Translation:
[Meaning a] support, lift. "And he grasped a staff of heath, which became a prop of old age."[1]

Greek Original:
*)okxh/: sth/rigma, ba/stagma. ge/nto d' e)rei/khs skhpa/nion, o(\ dh\ pe/len gh/raos o)kxh/. kai\ *)okxh/sasqai, e)pikaqesqh=nai.
Notes:
[1] Callimachus, Hecale fr. 355 Pfeiffer. Hesychius omicron503 also uses sth/rigma to gloss the word.
[2] Pfeiffer believes this is also from Callimachus' Hecale, and counts it as fr. 356. The o)kx- variant of the o)x- stem (o)xh/, o)xe/w) is unattested outside Callimachus (via the lexicographers).
