Translation

[Meaning] a prattling woman,¹ a such-and-such woman.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀδένη· ἡ φλύαρος, ἡ δεῖνα.

Betacode

*)ade/nh: h( flu/aros, h( dei=na.

Notes (1)

The headword, not attested outside lexicography, appears to be a corruption of the second glossing phrase (for which see LSJ s.v. dei=na). See Chantraine p. 66.
1Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (457).
