Translation
"All decked out as luxuriously as possible and in a manner that was amazing in terms of wealth, for someone, that is, who marvels at wealth."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἁβρὸς λειμὼν καὶ νοτερὸς καὶ εὐθαλής. πάντας δὲ ὡς ἁβρότατά τε καὶ ἅμα ἐς ἔκπληξιν κατὰ πλοῦτον, τῷ γε δὴ πλοῦτον θαυμάζοντι, ἐσταλμένους.

Notes
- The precise relationship between the headword phrase -- a re-arranged version of part of Aelian fr. 126a Domingo-Forasté (123 Hercher), quoted in epsilon 3095 -- and the quotation which serves as its gloss is unclear, though the latter too has been suggested as coming from Aelian: so Adler at epsilon 3200. Adler regards the quotation here (lacking in ms S) as an interpolation from epsilon 3200.
The manuscripts and Photius readkaino/teros "newer"; Markland (Jeremiah Markland, 1693–1776) emended tokai\ notero\s by comparison with epsilon 3095.
