Koen, I don't know what this scribe specifically means, but at the time, "barbaria" was a general designation for uncultured people living outside of cities that had opportunities for education and a certain amount of literacy—much the same as what it means today. But since it was also used to describe specific nations/tribes of people (as we sometimes do today), it's hard to know. It could be so many things... grows in rural places/grows in rough uncultivated places/grows in the place where the "barbarians" live. It would take some time to trace it back through previous sources to figure out what it means here, but if I come across anything I'll post it.
