*bardi/sagnos: o( ta\s gunai=kas biazo/menos.

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, otherwise unattested, is apparently a dialect word from NW Greece: Hesychius beta224 has a verb bardh=n, glosses it "violating women," and adds "Ambraciots (sc. use the word)".
