Headword: *pacama=s
Adler number: pi,254
Translated headword: biscuit, paxamas
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

Twice-baked bread. It is a Latin word.[1]

Greek Original:

*pacama=s: o( di/puros a)/rtos. e)/sti de\ h( le/cis *(rwmai+kh/.

Notes:

See already delta 1265.
[1] Some say that pacama=s is derived from Latin buccellatum "dried bread, rusk". But LSJ say it comes from the name of the baker Paxamos (perhaps the culinary writer at pi 253), and Andrew Dalby does not equate pacama=s and buccellatum (see bibliography). Paximadia are the modern Greek version of biscotti.
