Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
An Ancient Greek or Etruscan vase with a rounded body, especially a closed vessel of nearly spherical form on a high stem or pedestal, or a drinking cup with a foot and stem..
The large vase of a globular form standing in the middle is an holmos or therikleios, «vase for perfumes.»
The same characteristics of the clay of the small holmoi apply to almost all the fine impasto pottery at 'Satricum' except for the globular ollae, which have a reddish slip and a yellowish brown or greyish brown clay core like the holmos.
We can then estimate the length of the portions that are lost–probably two holmoi and a short length of reed extrusion–by finding a length which, when added to the length between the top of the surviving part of the instrument and I, and that between the same point and II, will give two lengths which are in the ratio 4:3.
Use holmos when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
