Same entry in Photius and elsewhere; similar one in Hesychius, with everything in the accusative plural rather than the nominative. Either way the headword phrase (which must be a quotation) is otherwise unattested; so, even, is the adjective it uses, oddly rendered in LSJ as "used to shoot[?] rubbish".
