Headword: *pollosthmo/rion
Adler number: pi,1924
Translated headword: many times smaller; fraction
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the ultimate part of the earth.
Greek Original:
*pollosthmo/rion: to\ e)/sxaton me/ros th=s gh=s.
Note:
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.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; geography; historiography
