Translation

A spherical vessel.

Greek original

Βομβύλον· σκεῦος στρογγυλοειδές.

Betacode

*bombu/lon: skeu=os strogguloeide/s.

Notes

The headword is a late form of the word bombulio/s; see LSJ s.v. II. The gurgling sound which this vessel made when pouring connects it to other "bombul-" words (beta 375, beta 376.)
