meson (μεσων)

(Greek: "middle")

[Joe Monzo]

The name of the intermediately-pitched tetrachord in ancient Greek music-theory.

It forms the tetrachord descending from the central note, mese, in both the Greater Perfect System and Lesser Pefect System, and it actually is the middle tetrachord in the 3-tetrachord LPS.
