Δελεασμός. καὶ Δελεάσμασι.

Notes
- The unglossed headword is likely to mean the practise or process of enticement in general terms; in any event the appended dative plural (which must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Aristophanes, Knights 789) is a reference to individual acts of enticement.
cf. generally delta 196, delta 197, delta 198, delta 200.
