[Meaning what] Laconians [call] raisin(s) [stapis].
*bwmo/n: stapi/da *la/kwnes.
Also in
Photius. The headword, otherwise unattested, is ignored by LSJ.
The gloss
stapi/da (also in
Photius s.v., but obelized there by Theodoridis), here translated "raisin[s]" is evidently equivalent to
a)stafi/da, accusative of
a)stafi/s (
alpha 4223): 'dried grapes, raisins', LSJ. (Post-Suda,
stapi/s in the sense of
a)stafi/s occurs in the 11th.-century ecclesiastical writer Nikon of the Black Mountain.)
