Ποιάντειον πεδίον.
Betacode
*poia/nteion pedi/on.
Notes
- 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 butpaidi/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).
