[506] στατός, stalled, cf. the word sta-bulum. ἀκοστήσας: Hesych. “ἀκοστή: κριθὴ παρὰ Κυπρίοις”. Schol. A “κυρίως δὲ πᾶσαι αἱ τροφαὶ ἀκοσταὶ καλοῦνται παρὰ Θεσσαλοῖς”. The variant “ἀγοστήσας” was explained to mean ‘befouled,’ from an imaginary “ἀγοστός” = “ῥύπος”. The former explanation must be accepted, though the word “ἀκοστή” is not known elsewhere.
