ἀνᾴσσων: Looks very much like ἀνάσσων, a gloss to ἄναξ. Bergk reads Ἀρκάσι (βάσσαις). Still we may compare Homer's ἀναδέδρομε πέτρη. This king-altar might look as if it were leaping into the air, on account of its commanding position on Mt. Lykaion, from which almost all the Peloponnesos was visible. See Paus. 8, 38, 5.
