[Meaning] hides, drapes.
*pararu/mmata: de/reis, skepa/smata.
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius pi280 Theodoridis. The headword is nominative or accusative plural of a neuter noun more commonly spelled with single mu. (For its cluster of meanings see LSJ s.v.) Theodoridis takes it to be quoted from the
Septuagint (
Exodus 35.11,
pararru/mata there), but another attractive possibility is
Xenophon,
Hellenica 1.6.19 (on a protective feature of the Athenian triremes about to fight the battle of
Arginousai in 406 BCE); see generally Lionel Casson,
Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World (Baltimore 1992) 249 with n.99.
