Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

crŏcŏdīlĭon (-lĕon), ii, n., = κροκοδείλιον, a plant, so called from the rough skin of its stalk, Plin. 27, 8, 41, § 64.

crŏcŏdīlus, i, m., = κροκόδειλος, a crocodile, Plin. 8, 25, 37, § 89 sq.; 28, 8, 28, § 107 sq.; Cic. N. D. 2, 48, 124; 2, 52, 129; 1, 29, 82; Sen. Q. N. 4, 2, 13.
In the metathesis corcŏdīlus, Phaedr. 1, 25, 4 and 6; Mart. 3, 93, 7 Schneid.; cf. Ritschl in Rhein. Mus. vol. 9, p. 478 sq.
