*perikefalai/a.
Without a gloss it is impossible to know which of the several meanings of
perikefalai/a is being dealt with here. Commonest is cap, helmet, and the like, and analogously a head-part of a machine (
Athenaeus Mechanicus 23.3, in some mss), but
Theophrastus (
History of Plants 3.8.7) uses it of a disease of oak-trees. See LSJ s.v.
