[Meaning] grain-bearing.
*purofo/ron: sitofo/ron.
Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at
Photius pi1578 Theodoridis), and cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 14.123, where the nominative plural of the headword occurs. (The present headword itself, in the accusative singular, is perhaps quoted from
Pindar,
Isthmian 4.59, where it is used of Libya, though there are other possibilities.)
On
puro/s "wheat" see
