Context (Greek)

διὰ δὲ τῶν μανουαλίων ἤγουν κηροστάτων καὶ λαμνῶν καὶ σταταρεῶν καὶ κανισκίων χυτοχάλκων ἔχουσιν οὕτως ... κανίσκια μετὰ τῶν βασταγίων αὐτῶν μικρομεγάλα ἤλεκτρος καὶ αὐτά. — Αἱ ἀβίναι τῶν κανισκίων αὐτῶν δέκα, καὶ ἕτεραι δύο κονταί

Comments

Des lampes en forme de corbeille ou de panier, avec leurs chaînes de suspension [1]. Elles sont certainement faites d'un alliage métallique or-argent, cf. la fiche de synthèse "èlektros" [2]. D'autres kaniskia possèdent des lanières métalliques [3, 4] comme suspensions.
