This hapax legomenon in Aristophanes is a compound adjective, literally 'wheat-splintered' or 'wheat-split,' used here as a vocative address to the character Dicaeopolis. The word is a comic coinage combining πυρός (wheat) and ῥαγνύμι (to split), functioning as a metaphor for someone who has been 'split open' or thoroughly beaten, likely alluding to the physical violence of the marketplace or the character's desperate state. The formation is syntactically regular but semantically unique to this context, creating a grotesque image of Dicaeopolis as a broken grain, which is typical of Aristophanes' linguistic inventiveness in the parabasis or early scenes of the play.
