What it means

σταφυλή, -ῆς, ἡ

[in LXX for עֵנָב;]

a bunch of grapes: Mt 7:16, Lk 6:44, Re 14:18. "σ. is properly the ripe grape-cluster as opp. to ὄμφαξ, cf. Ge 40:10, Jb 15:33; as contrasted with βότρυς, it describes the grapes rather than the cluster on which they grow" (Swete, Apoc., 187 f.).†
