ἀντηρίς

ἀντηρίς, a prop, stay, support

ἀντηρίς, ίδος, ἡ,
  • prop, stay, support, E. Fr. 1111: pl., Plb. 8.4.6; stanchion or strut in torsion-engines, Ph. Bel. 76.16, Hero Bel. 101.9; ἀρκύων X. Cyn. 10.7; in Th. 7.36 ἀντηρίδες are stay-beams fixed inside a shipʼs bow, and projecting beyond it, so as to support and strengthen the ἐπωτίδες.
    • II = θυρίς, window, Suid.:—and in E. Rh. 785 it must mean nostrils, if it be the right reading. [ῐδος E. ll.cc.: hence ἀντήρειδες in Apollod. Poliorc. 178.4, Hero Bel. 101.9, is wrong; so -είδιον ib. 89.4 is f.l. for -ίδιον as Inscrr. show.] (-ηρῐδ = -ερῐδ-, weak form of stem of ἐρείδω (cf. ἔρις).)
