Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] will damage/harm, will destroy.¹
Also [sc. attested is the related noun] dh/lhsis ["bane, mischief"], [meaning] harm. "Thieves approaching for bane of [= to] the cattle of Thespiades"²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δηλήσεται· βλάψει, διαφθερεῖ. καὶ Δήλησις, ἡ βλάβη. λῃστὰς ἐπελθόντας ἐπὶ δηλήσει τῶν βοῶν Θεσπιάδου.

Notes (2)

Future of dhle/omai, third person singular: cf. generally delta 402, delta 403, epsilon 224.
1Same or similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and see also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 14.102, where the headword occurs. ↩
2Thespiades is the eponymous founder of Thespiai (theta 276, theta 277) in Boeotia, central Greece. As to the quotation itself, in the accusative plural, Adler suggested Nicolaus of Damascus (nu 393), and this is taken up and confirmed by Favuzzi [below] in his study of eleven Suda entries -- cf. delta 1591, epsilon 935, epsilon 1539, epsilon 3022, theta 274, theta 412, kappa 2029, pi 1697, pi 2069, pi 2678 -- which all in his view relate to Heracles and all come from Nicolaus.
