Translation

[Meaning] the driving of chariots. "And they have been nibbling at the [sc. calendric] cycle by chariot-driving."¹ Meaning sparing the chariots themselves.
But harmatrochia ["chariot-wheel track"] [is] the furrow of the chariot. There is also hamatrochia.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἁρματωλία· ἡ τῶν ἁρμάτων ἡνιοχεία. καὶ τοῦ κύκλου παρέτραγον ὑφ' ἁρματωλίας. ἀντὶ τοῦ φειδόμενοι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτῶν. Ἁρματροχία δὲ ἡ ἐγχάραξις τοῦ ἅρματος. ἔστι καὶ Ἁματροχία.

Notes (1)

[1] Aristophanes, Peace 415 (web address 1 below). The next sentence in the gloss is a scholium to this line (which would have done better to comment on e.g. the pun on a(rmatwli/a and a(martwli/a ("failure") and generally to explain this allusion to recent calendar reforms in Athens). Again at pi 576.
2As is implicit here, and already explicit at alpha 1509, the Suda regards these two words as synonyms. This was an oddly common error: see LSJ under a(matroxi/a, which actually meant "driving side by side".
