πυραμίς
πῡρᾰμίς, ίδος, ἡ,
A). pyramid, Hdt. 2.8 , 124 , D.S. 1.63 , Str. 17.1.33 , OGI 666.13 (Egypt, i A.D.), etc.; as a sepulchral monument, PLips. 30.14 (iii A.D.).
2). pyramid, as a geometrical figure, Pl. Ti. 56b , Arist. Cael. 304a12 , etc.
b). pyramidal number, Speus. ap. Theol.Ar. 62 .
3). name of a farm-building, IG 22.2776.16 ; of a fountain, Arch.Anz. 26.233 (Panticapaeum).
II). a sort of cake, Ephipp. 13.5 (anap.); different from πυραμοῦς, acc. to Iatrocl. ap. Ath. 14.647c codd. (but dub., cf. πυραμοῦντα· τὴν πυραμίδα, Hsch.); ἡ ἐκ πυρῶν καὶ μέλιτος, ὥσπερ σησαμὶς ἡ ἐκ σησάμων καὶ μέλιτος, EM 697.27 . (Expld. by Gramm., etc., fr. πῦρ because pointed, Amm.Marc. 22.15.29 , cf. Pl.l.c.; from πυρός, St.Byz.: it is suggested that the pyramids were named from resembling a πυραμίς 11 in shape; but the shape of a π. 11 is unknown: the derivation from Egypt. pr-m-wś 'the height of a pyramid' is doubtful.)
