*(uperw/sion: to\ u(pe\r th\n moi=ran.

The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular, presumably quoted from somewhere but unattested outside lexicography. Differently glossed in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler; ps.-Zonaras glosses a)/peiron "unlimited"; Orion [Author, Myth] and the Etymologicum Magnum discuss a (highly unlikely) derivation from o(/sios "holy."
