Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius omicron687 Theodoridis. The headword, in the accusative plural, is a
hapax legomenon that appears at
Homer,
Iliad 2.153 (web address 1 below), "and they started clearing out the ship-trenches" (
ou)rou/s t' e)ceka/qairon). The scholiast on that passage indicates that the word had been of interest to scholars at least as early as
Aristarchus.
Pollux 10.149 includes the headword under "equipment of a shiphauler" (
newlkou= skeu/h ).
[1] The second of these glosses is more hindrance than help, given the rarity of the noun
perio/risma.
