What it meant — LSJ

baked, toasted on a spit

baked or toasted on a spit, Hp. Vict. 2.42, Ar. Fr. 103, Ph. 2.273, cf. Moer. p.287P. ; without ἄρτος, Pherecr. 55, Nicopho 15 :—also ὀβέλιος, CIG 3597b (Ilium) ; and ὀβελίτης (q. v.). But in AB III we have ὀβολίας ἄρτους· τοὐς ὀβολοῦ πωλουμένους, Ἀριστοφάνης Πελαργοῖς (Fr. 440).— Ath. 3.111b writes it ὀβελίας and gives both interpretations.
