HOROS

Horos is a boundary-stone, a landmark, but it is also a term or
definition, indicating a certain duration of time, a limit or boundary.
It is also said to be a rule, a measure, an end or aim, the three terms
of astrological measurement, notes of a musical scale, decree of a
magistrate, and (apparently metaphorically) the boundary of a
woman's mind. On top of, or rather underneath, this greater plurality
of meanings, it is also the stone that marks a grave—gravestone.
