Translation

[Meaning one] having protruding loosened teeth.¹
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] 'tusked animals', [meaning] those displaying their teeth outside [sc. their mouths], like the blind mole rat, the elephant, and anything else [like this].²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Χαυλιόδων· κεχαλασμένους ἔχων τοὺς ὀδόντας ἐξέχοντας. καὶ Ζῷα χαυλιόδοντα, τὰ φαίνοντα ἔξω τοὺς ὀδόντας, οἷον ἀσπάλαξ, ἐλέφας, καὶ εἴ τι ἄλλο.

Notes (2)

According to Herodian the Grammarian, Partitions 280, the correct forms of this headword are xaulio/dous and xauliw/dwn. Many codices show the present form (xaulio/dwn) nonetheless.
The headword is probably quoted from the Hesiodic Shield of Heracles [Scutum] 386 (web address 1 below).
1= Etymologium Genuinum, Etymologicum Magnum 807.37. See also Eustathius, Commentary on Homer's Odyssey 1872.33, Pausanius the Atticist fr. 283 (from Eustathius, Commentary on Homer's Iliad 854.13), Hesychius, and the scholia to Scutum 386 (above). ↩
