A particular agricultural implement, as Isaeus shows.1 Perhaps, however, the oron in Aeschylus and in Menander signifies something wooden, with which they press the trodden grapes.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὄρον· σκεῦός τι γεωργικόν, ὡς Ἰσαῖος δηλοῖ. μήποτε μέντοι τὸ ὄρον παρά τε Αἰσχύλῳ καὶ παρὰ Μενάνδρῳ ξύλον τι σημαίνει, ὃ τὴν πεπατημένην σταφυλὴν πιέζουσιν.
