Greek display:    
Headword: *(uperde/cion xwri/on
Adler number: upsilon,254
Translated headword: a position above-right
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"They had a [sc. defensive] position above-right, making it very difficult." Xenophon says [this].
Greek Original:
*(uperde/cion xwri/on: ei)=xon d' u(perde/cion oi(=on xalepw/taton. *cenofw=n fhsin,
Note:
Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon109 Theodoridis. The headword phrase is seemingly a variant version of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.8.2, where the transmitted text has not this adjective (accepted by LSJ s.v., and cf. epsilon 1867) but the prepositional phrase u(pe\r deciw=n.
