[1263] ἱστοδόκης: the receptacle at the stern which received the mast when lowered. As its shape is purely conjectural (v. M. and R. Od. Appendix), it is impossible to determine how the sails and yard were placed in it, or on it, along with the mast. Vars and Torr identify the μεσόδμη and ἱστοδόκη, but see Class. Rev. x 169.
