[5] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

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.
