Ποιάντειον πεδίον.

Betacode
*poia/nteion pedi/on.  

Notes

  1. Otherwise unattested as a geographical term. [NF: if it is one, perhaps an error derived from Oiantheia/Euantheia, the modern Tolofon, Greece.] However, Adler reports that ms. G reads not pedi/on but paidi/on, 'child', so this is very likely one of lexicography's several glosses on Homer, Odyssey 3.190: the son of Poias, i.e. Philoktetes (phi 383).
