   A zea-giving (Plin.HN18.82, EM410.6), as epith. of the earth, ζείδωρος ἄρουρα Il.2.548, Od.3.3, Hes.Op.173; ζ. ἀρδμός Nonn.D.26.185: c. gen., ζ. ὀπώρης ἀχράς AP9.4 (Cyllen.): also in late Prose, Hld.9.22 (ζε (ϝ) έ-δωρος, cf. ζέα).    II some authors derived it from ζάω,= βιόδωρος (so expld. by Hsch.), life-giving, Ἀφροδίτη Emp.151; Ἠέλιος Nonn.D.12.23, cf. 22.276. ζείζιν, mamma, Gloss.

German (Pape)

[Seite 1137] Getreide, d. i. Frucht, Nahrung spendend, ἄρουρα, Il. 2, 548 u. oft, wie Hes. Nach Plut. amator. 13 nannte Empedocl. auch die Aphrodite so. Die Erkl. des Hesych. βιόδωρος hat verleitet an ζήδωρος zu denken.
