*diamadw=ntes: diabre/xontes.
Notes
- The headword is masculine nominative plural of a present participle. Adler prints it as
diamadw=ntes , while noting thatdiamudw=ntes is the form in one manuscript (G) and also in other lexica. The latter -- from the verbdiamuda/w (a medical term: see LSJ) -- is evidently correct. It must be quoted by the lexicographers from somewhere but is not independently attested.
