Paxamathi. It's bread, but what kind? How processed? I'm really
looking for an equivalent
English word. Probably archaic, but I think it described bread
preserved in some way. Not maintaining freshness so much as inhibiting
mould.

First google search of paxamathi found this:
scroll down for crete dakos

I then googled crete dakos and got this:

So is it some kind of barley bread?
Just a wild guess.

Or it might just mean bread crumbs. Another quick google of "amathi"
= sand.

And you're damn good at it. Thanks. I suspect that paxamathi are bread
crumbs made from slowly-baked (very dry bread). In English the dried
bread is called rusk which comes from the Dutch. That's got to be the
word I'm looking for.
