Translation
[Meaning] the [space] between the plants; or the [space] between the plots, which is called o)/rxos ["row of vines or fruit-trees"]. He might separate, he is saying, the plants from the sown fields. Or meto/rxion is the plain between cultivated [lands], in which grain or something else has been sown.

Μετόρχιον· τὸ μεταξὺ τῶν φυτῶν· ἢ τὸ μεταξὺ τῶν χωρίων, ὅπερ λέγεται ὄρχος. μεταστήσειε, φησί, τὰ φυτὰ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρουρῶν τῶν σπειρομένων. ἢ μετόρχιόν ἐστι τὸ μεταξὺ τῶν συμφύτων πεδίον, ἐν ᾧ ἢ σῖτος ἢ ἄλλο τι ἔσπαρται.
