There is still no agreement, whether the "miltos" is red ochre, minium, cinnabar or a generic term for them.

What red ochre, "minium", and "cinnabar" have in common is that they are hard reddish substances that are ground into powder in preparation for use, usually as pigments and medicinal concoctions.

So... the term "miltos" may have been used somewhat generically in much the same way as we use the word "curry" to describe a wide range of spice mixtures.
