Translation
[To Chalkidize] and to be Chalkidian. In reference to those who are being stingy.1 Also [sc. attested is] to phikidize, in reference to pederasty;2 since among them3 sexual acts between males were customary. But some [use it] to describe rhotacism, since both they and the Eretrians seem to use 'r' quite immoderately, employing it even in place of the 's'.4
