And all to break his skull - A most nonsensical version of גלגלתו את ותרץ vattarits eth gulgolto , which is literally, And she brake, or fractured, his skull. Plutarch, in his life of Pyrrhus, observes that this king was killed at the siege of Thebes, by a piece of a tile, which a woman threw upon his head.
