Headword: *pra/mnios oi)=nos
Adler number: pi,2207
Translated headword: Pramnian wine
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Aristarchus was careful to call the sweet wine "Pramnian". Some [say] the wine which is for sale is long-lasting [paramo/nimos];[1] some [say it is so called] from the vine which is called Pramnian; some [say] it is properly the dark [wine]; some [say it is the wine which gentles [prau+/nonta] the spirit [me/nos], which they also call medicinal. Semos the Delian in his third [book says][2] that in Nikaia[3] there is a Pramnan [sic] rock,[4] from which the wine comes.

Notes:
Same entry in Photius (pi1135 Theodoridis, but see further in notes below); similar material in other lexica, in Didymus (cited by Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 1.30D [1.55 Kaibel]), and in scholia on Homer (Iliad 11.638), Aristophanes (Knights 107), and Plato (Ion 538C). For Aristarchus see alpha 3892.
cf. upsilon 644.
[1] paramonimos only here in the Suda; Photius' word was paramonios.
[2] FGrH 396 [sigma 327] F6.
[3] Apparently a toponym (though Theodoridis does not print one). but emended by Kuster to Ikaros [iota 257] on the strength of Athenaeus (above).
[4] Textual doubt again here: Theodoridis tentatively prints o( pra/gmwn.
