A Greek Word for Hill

Liddell-Scott-Jones, Greek-English Lexicon, p. 1083, col. 2, s.v. μαστός (mastós, primary meaning = breast):

II. metaph., any round, breast-shaped object: 1. round hill, knoll, Pi.P.4.8, X.An.4.2.6, Call.Del.48.

Xenophon, Anabasis 4.2.6 (tr. Robin Waterfield):

In fact, though, they were not occupying the peak; there was a hill above them and the narrow road where the guards had been posted ran alongside this hill.

οἱ δ᾽ οὐ κατεῖχον, ἀλλὰ μαστὸς ἦν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν παρ᾽ ὃν ἦν ἡ στενὴ αὕτη ὁδὸς ἐφ᾽ ᾗ ἐκάθηντο οἱ φύλακες. ἔφοδος μέντοι αὐτόθεν ἐπὶ τοὺς πολεμίους ἦν οἳ ἐπὶ τῇ φανερᾷ ὁδῷ ἐκάθηντο.

The word also occurs with this meaning at Xenophon, Anabasis 4.2.15, 18, 20.
