Greek display:    

Headword: *pandou/ra
Adler number: pi,181
Translated headword: cleaver, lute
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning a] meat-cutting knife. A harp. Look under phkti/s ('harp').
Greek Original:
*pandou/ra: ma/xaira krewko/pos. h( phkti/s. zh/tei e)n tw=| phkti/s.
Notes:
This entry (lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV, though added in the margin of A by a later hand) is derived from the entry it cites: pi 1502. In all its other attestations, apart from these two Suda entries, the headword is used in the sense of a stringed instrument, rather than a cleaver.
On these instruments see M.L. West, Ancient Greek Music (Oxford 1992) 71-4 (pektis) and 80 (pandoura).
