Garbled Greek

John Dewar Denniston and Denys Page, edd., Aeschylus, Agamemnon (1957; rpt. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1989), p. 146 (on line 890):
Lit. 'bewailing the beacons concerning you that were ever neglected', i.e. lamenting that the beacons remained so long unlit. αγπτ ηρουχίας: 'holdings of lamps', probably abstract for concrete...
For what looks like αγπτ ηρουχίας read λαμπτηρουχίας.
