β565

Βρωτόν

edible; fodder

[Meaning] food, nourishment. Xenophon [writes]: "he went up to the draft animals and, if he saw anything edible anywhere, he gave it to the starving men."

Βρωτόν· βρῶσιν, τροφήν. Ξενοφῶν· ὁ δὲ παριὼν ἐπὶ τὰ ὑποζύγια, εἴ τί που ὁρῴη βρωτὸν, ἐδίδου τοῖς βουλιμιῶσιν.

ε887Ἐλλόγιμοςnoteworthy… office), but for that one might expect timi/a xw/ra (cf. Xenophon, Cyropaideia 8.4.10). The diminutive xwri/on is normally used of physical places. Although rare, one does find this phrase used in reference to physical …Matched in noteshighshort
