Orindes was a bread made by the Ancient Greeks from rice flour. It could also be made from a small Ethiopian grain, which we can perhaps only speculate about - teff perhaps?
Orindes was an expensive bread.
Literature & Lore
"And Sophocles makes mention of a loaf called orindes, in his Triptolemus, which has its name from being made of rice or from a grain raised in Ethiopia, which resembles seasamum."
