Translation

[Meaning] tillage. But a)/rwma [spelled] with omega [means] a perfume.¹
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] a)ro/simon kli/ma ["fruitful slope"],² [meaning] that which is being ploughed.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄρομα· τὸ ἀροτρίασμα. Ἄρωμα δὲ διὰ τοῦ ω μεγάλου τὸ μυρεψικόν. καὶ Ἀρόσιμον κλίμα, τὸ ἀροτριούμενον.

Betacode

*)/aroma: to\ a)rotri/asma. *)/arwma de\ dia\ tou= w mega/lou to\ mureyiko/n. kai\ *)aro/simon kli/ma, to\ a)rotriou/menon.

Notes (2)

Despite the difference in spelling claimed here, both of these neuter nouns are actually a)/rwma: see LSJ s.v. A and B.
1For the latter see further at alpha 3996. ↩
2Presumably quoted from somewhere, but unidentifiable.
