[Meaning the area] between the shoulders.
*metafre/nwn: metacu\ tw=n w)/mwn.
Same or very similar entry (the glossing phrase is sometimes 'between the two shoulders') in other lexica: see the references at
Photius mu338 Theodoridis, where the editor prints the same headword as the Suda, genitive plural
metafre/nwn, but obelizes it, declaring (justifiably) that its correct reading is
meta/frenon as in the
Etymologicum Genuinum and the D
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 2.265 (
meta/frenon ... kai\ w)/mw).
cf.
nu 566.
