Headword:
*de/rtron
Adler number: delta,265
Translated headword: caul; skinner
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning the] peritoneum. But
Aristarchus[1] [says it is] the skin and all the flesh over the liver. But better [to define it as] the beak. [We derive]
de/rtron from the [verb]
de/rein ["to skin"], which is to strike. With this vultures tear whatever they might eat with a strike of the beak. And this is a noun derived from a verb. As from
plh/ssw ["I strike"] [comes]
plh=ktron ["striker"], so from
de/rw ["I skin"], [comes]
de/rtron ["skinner"].

Notes:
Same or similar entry in other lexica, including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon. The neuter headword, as the primary gloss shows, is in the accusative case; it is quoted from
Homer,
Odyssey 11.579.
