[Meaning something] cheap, poor. "And with a barley-cake a little penurious drama."[1]
Penichraleon: euteles, penichron. kai psaistôi oligon drama penichraleon.
The headword, neuter singular of this adjective (a variant of the second gloss), is presumably extracted from the quotation given, its only attestation outside the Suda.
[1] A garbled quotation of
Greek Anthology 6.190.6 (
Gaetulicus), where the original has
kai\ yaistw=n o)li/gwn dra=gma penixrale/on ("and a penurious handful of a few barley cakes"); more accurately at
psi 35.
