φυστὴ ἐνὶ γρώνῃ μασσομένη παλάμαις (barley cake kneaded in a trough by hands) [3rd century BCE, Leonidas of Tarentum, chapter 736, in Greek Anthology, Book VII:]
Etymology
Nominalised female form of the adjective γρῶνος (grônos, “hollow, cavernous”) which is of unknown origin. The traditional connection to γράω (gráō, “gnaw, eat”) via the unattested form *γρώσνος (*grṓsnos) is doubtful since the verb does not show ablaut, with the semantic connection also being poor.
