Φαλάκραι, ἄκρα τῆς Ἴδης, ἥ τις οὐκ ἔχει ζῶν φυτὸν διὰ τὴν χιόνα καὶ τὸν κρύσταλλον, ἀλλ´ ἐψίλωται. καὶ πάντα δὲ τὰ ἐψιλωμένα ὄρη ἐλέγετο Φαλάκραι. ὁ ἐκ τόπου Φαλακραῖος. Λυκόφρων “στερρὰν κύβηλιν ἢ Φαλακραῖον κλάδον”. καὶ θηλυκῶς “Φαλακραῖαι κόραι”. καὶ οὐδέτερον. ἔστι καὶ κώμη Λιβύης Φαλάκραι· ἔστι καὶ Φάλακρον ἀκρωτήριον Κορκύρας, ὡς Ἀρτεμίδωρος ἐν πέμπτῳ γεωγραφουμένων φησί.

Phalakrai: a peak of Ida, which has no living plant because of the snow and ice, but has been stripped bare. And all mountains stripped bare used to be called Phalakrai. The man from the place is a 'Phalakraios'. Lykophron: 'a sturdy cudgel or a Phalakraian branch'. Also in the feminine: 'Phalakraian maidens'. And in the neuter. There is also a village in Libya, Phalakrai; there is also Phalakron, a cape of Korkyra, as per Artemidoros, in book 5 of his Geography.
