Translation

[Meaning] to give oneself airs.¹ "Walking like this, swagger somewhat effeminately".²
More recent [sc. commentators] undiscriminatingly apply [the meanings] 'to corrupt' and 'to violate' to the same [word].³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Διασαλακωνίσαι· διαθρύψαι. ὡδὶ προβὰς τρυφερόν τι διασαλακώνισον. οἱ νεώτεροι διαφθεῖραι καὶ βιάσασθαι ἐπὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ τάττουσιν ἀδιαφόρως.

Notes (3)

The headword is aorist infinitive of this verb, generated by the aorist imperative in the quotation given.
1Same gloss in Photius -- using the active voice of this verb, it seems, in a sense which LSJ s.v. registers for the middle. ↩
2Aristophanes, Wasps 1169 (web address 1). For the verb cf. sigma 44, sigma 45. ↩
3cf. (e.g.) Moeris, Lexicon Atticum 193.14.
