[Meaning] bridles, reins, traces.[1]

Greek Original:
*(ruth=res: xalinoi/, h(ni/ai, i(ma/ntes. e)n *)epigra/mmasi: xruso\s o(/lous r(uth=ras, o(/las klhi/+das e)le/gxei.
Notes:
[1] The headword is nominative plural of r(uth/r (cf. rho 316, rho 320). Same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius rho196 Theodoridis), and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 16.475, where the dative plural occurs.
[2] Greek Anthology 5.217.5 (Paul the Silentiary): a moral drawn there from the myth of the imprisoned Danae [delta 57], visited -- and impregnated -- by Zeus in the form of a shower of gold. See further excerpts from this epigram at alpha 1510, epsilon 919, kappa 454, and kappa 2075.
