- wheat-bearing; producing grain
Meaning
Mise delights in holy wheat-bearing plains at XLII.8. The agricultural noun πεδία and the surrounding Isis setting identify the grain-bearing sense of πυροφόρος here. Despite its resemblance to fire-compounds, this occurrence does not describe plains carrying flames.
