Which word in this excerpt from Homer's Odyssey means "lands" or "kingdoms"?

Till now from sea or flood no succour found,

Famine and meagre want besieged us round.

Pensive and pale from grove to grove I stray'd,

From the loud storms to find a sylvan shade;

There o'er my hands the living wave I pour;

And Heaven and Heaven's immortal thrones implore,

To calm the roarings of the stormy main,

And guide me peaceful to my realms again.
