בירוצין   n.m.  a precious stone


  a precious stone  LJLA.  TgJob28:18 : סנדלנין/סנדלכין/ ופירוצין/ובירוצין/ובירורין/ובדורין  [=MT רָאמוֹת וְגָבִישׁ].

Levy's identification with אובריזין "pure gold" is unlikely, for surely our author knew the Hebrew and JLA term אלגביש as "hail stones" and associated the Biblical hapax with it. Additionally, the previous word is also clearly a precious stone of some sort. The correct form, however, is totally uncertain.
