[Meaning] barley loaves mixed with olive-oil; or roasted vegetables.
*xauw=nas: a)/rtous e)lai/w| a)nafuraqe/ntas kriqi/nous: h)\ la/xana o)pta/.
The headword, actually accusative plural, is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew כון
kawwan, taken from the
Septuagint:
Jeremiah 51(44):19, cf. 7:18. In both contexts the word refers to cakes offered to Near Eastern deities like Astarte. There seems no extant example of
xauw=nes meaning "roasted vegetables".
