Translation
[Meaning] what was once was sea but became a plain again and is cultivated. So properly it is a sea-side plain, but by linguistic misuse every [type of plain].
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἁλίπεδον· τὸ τέως μὲν θάλασσα, αὖθις δὲ πεδίον γεγονὸς καὶ ἠροτριωμένον. κυρίως μὲν οὖν τὸ παρὰ θάλασσαν πεδίον, καταχρηστικῶς δὲ πᾶν.
