(formed of currus, "chariot," and ἀγρυπνός, "scythe" or "fickle"), in antiquity, a kind of chariot armed with scythes. The driver of these chariots was obliged to ride on one of the horses, as there was no other seat for him; the usual place for him being all armed with knives, as was likewise the hinder part of the chariot. There were no scythes pointing down to the earth either from Carrying, from the beam or axle-tree; but these were fixed at Curling the head of the axle-tree in such a manner as to be moveable by means of a rope, and thereby could be raised or let down, and drawn forward or let fall backward, by relaxing the rope.
