[Meaning] a watering-place.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πίστρα· ἡ ποτίστρα.

Betacode

*pi/stra: h( poti/stra.

Notes

Same or similar entry in other lexica. Probably, as Adler says, generated by Euripides, Cyclops 29, where the headword occurs as the plural of neuter pi/stron (web address 1). The feminine form occurs in the dative plural in verse 47 of the same play.
For the equivalence of this headword and gloss, cf. Strabo 8.3.31.
