*kisshroeide/s.
For pumice see
pi 1670. This adjective deriving from it is variously spelled
kishroeidh/s (so LSJ s.v.) and, as here,
kisshroeidh/s.
The form given as the present unglossed headword is the neuter nominative/accusative singular, which must be quoted from somewhere. One extant possibility is
Theophrastus,
Enquiry into Plants 3.7.5, but perhaps a likelier source for the present entry -- albeit in the single sigma version -- is
Diogenes of
Apollonia as quoted by
Stobaeus and
Aetius: the moon as a fiery pumice-like mass.
