Name of a place.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Γάνδειρον· ὄνομα τόπου.
Betacode

Notes
- Attested as such only here and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
Possibly [NF] a reference to the region of present-day Afghanistan/Pakistan called Gand(h)ara (home to a famous school of Buddhist sculpture); however, the normal Greek forms were Gandaris and Gandaritis.
