*diash/qein: diacu/ein, a)palei/fein, para/ptesqai.

Same entry in Photius, though Theodoridis there obelizes the headword itself as corrupt; diash/qein does exist (see LSJ s.v.), but in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon the lemma which has these three glosses is diagra/fein "to erase/strike through"; and see also Hesychius s.v.
