Greek display:    
Headword: *stoixhdo/n
Adler number: sigma,1242
Translated headword: column-fashion, stoichedon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] by rank.[1]
Greek Original:
*stoixhdo/n. kata\ ta/cin.
Notes:
Evidently (cf. alpha 2612, epsilon 953, pi 3197, sigma 1246) a military definition; but this adverb also describes a mason's epigraphic style -- associated especially with classical Athens -- where the letters are aligned in vertical columns as well as horizontal rows.
[1] Glossing phrase lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF; but it does appear in Hesychius, with the addition of kata\ stoixei=on.
