  Pinnacle
     a little wing, (Matt. 4:5; Luke 4:9). On the southern side of
     the temple court was a range of porches or cloisters forming
     three arcades. At the south-eastern corner the roof of this
     cloister was some 300 feet above the Kidron valley. The
     pinnacle, some parapet or wing-like projection, was above this
     roof, and hence at a great height, probably 350 feet or more
     above the valley.
