In P Lond 776.10 (A.D. 552) (= III. p. 278) we read of a κυλλὴ κυκλάς (";crooked wheel";?) used for purposes of irrigation : the exact character of the machine is unknown. In Herodas Prooem. 4 (ed. Nairn p. 101) τ ]ὰ κυλλὰ ἀείδειν refers to the ";limping"; verse, the ";choliambic"; : cf. the use of χωλός in ib. i. 71 χωλὴν δ᾽ ἀείδειν χωλ᾽ ἂν ἐξεπαίδευσα, ";I’d have taught her for her lame (vicious) advice to go limping away"; (Ed.), and the juxtaposition of the two adjectives in Matthew 15:30.
