*)eskoupondi/ai: kata\ *(rwmai/ous stratiwtika\ e)fo/dia.
Notes
- Nominative plural; feminine here, neuter in ps.-Zonaras; otherwise unattested in published material (though Adler cites the unedited Lexicon codicis Barocciani 50).
Perhaps related to the Latin words esculentus and pondus (yielding 'measure of edibles').
