[Meaning something] hard, difficult.[1]
Ajax says: "long and innumerable time brings forth all invisible things and, when they have appeared, hides them. And nothing is beyond expectation, but the terrible oath and the stubborn mind are overcome. For I also, who then endured terrible things, as iron is tempered, have been softened in my speech by this woman."[2]
Greek Original:
Periskeles: sklêron, duscheres. Aias phêsin: hapanth' ho makros kanarithmêtos chronos phuei t' adêla kai phanenta kruptetai: kouk est' aelpton ouden, all' halisketai chô deinos horkos kai periskeleis phrenes. kagô gar, hos ta dein' ekarteroun tote, baphêi sidêros hôs, ethêlunthên stoma pros têsde tês gunaikos.
Notes:
[1] Likewise in the Synagoge and in Photius, Lexicon pi752 Theodoridis, similarly in Hesychius pi1854 and in a scholion to Sophocles, Ajax 649; cf. next note. The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular of the ambiguous adjective periskelh/s: see generally LSJ s.v. A (from the verb ske/llw "dry up") and B (from the noun ske/los "leg", cf. pi 1282). The present glossing ought to indicate that this instance falls under A, though Hesychius (above) adds 'or as far as the feet', which looks like a comment on the periskele/s garment in Leviticus 6.3 LXX. Either way, it must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which has the masculine nominative plural); extant possibilities for A include Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 4.28.1.
[2] Sophocles, Ajax 646-652 (web address 1); quoted already in part at alpha 550, alpha 2046, and epsilon 323.
