Adler number: alpha,1532
Translated headword: thrown-up earth, raised earth
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning earth] which was raised up by a ditch.
Xenophon [writes]: "Cyrus used to make towers on the thrown-up earth, so that there might be as many guardposts as possible."[1]
Look under "bitten" [
dakno/menos], because housebuilding and raising horses and making mounds seemed expensive to the Laconians.[2]

Notes:
Likewise in ps.-
Zonaras. The headword phrase, in the nominative, is presumably generated by genitive
th=s a)mbola/dos gh=s in the quotation given.
