[110] ἀσκήσας expresses any artificial preparation, e.g. of wool 3.388, a mixingbowl 23.743, gilding of horns Od. 3.438, etc. ἤραρε, joined with a handle (“πῆχυς”) in the middle. The κορώνη is the tip with a notch, into which the loop is slipped in stringing (cf. Od. 21.138, 165; elsewhere of a door-handle). At the other end there must have been another “κορώνη” into which the string was permanently fastened, or else a hole through the horn.
