[Meaning] things which create life.

*zw/pura: tou= zh=n poihtika/.

Note:

Neuter plural of the adjective zw/puros; again zeta 151, zeta 152, and cf. zeta 157. Same glossing in Photius and in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The passage in question is evidently Plato, Laws 677B, where the headword is used figuratively of the human survivors of the flood (web address 1).
