[Meaning] the ultimate part of the earth.
*pollosthmo/rion: to\ e)/sxaton me/ros th=s gh=s.
The headword is the neuter nominative/accusative singular of the two-ending adjective
pollosthmo/rios (
a number of times smaller: LSJ s.v.). Here however, and presumably therefore in the context from which it was quoted (perhaps Lucian,
Icaromenippus 18), it simply means a (sc. small) geographical fraction, i.e. as if it were the phrase
pollosto\n mo/rion; cf. e.g.
Thucydides 6.86.5 with scholion, and generally LSJ s.v.
pollosto/s, 3.
