What it meant

1. ἄκολος · akolos — Beekes

ἄκολος [m.) ‘bit, morsel’ (p 222.). «ΡΟ» eVAR Boeot. acc. to Stratt. 47, 7. *ETYM Possibly of foreign origin; cf. Phrygian Bexoc axxaAoc (Haas 1966: 84). A connection with Skt. ἀμ Ἢ ‘to eat’ does not explain the formation. A suggestion by Fur.: 371 is to connect it to κόλον, a type of food preserved in pots (pap. III"); Ath. 6, 262a and Eust. explain it as ἡ τροφή. Nothing suggests an identity with ἄκυλος ‘acorn’. — [Beekes, s.v. ἄκολος, p. 100]
