Betacode

*eu)xulo/teros: o( taxe/ws petto/menos.

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; comparable one, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (2400). The headword -- comparative, masculine nominative singular, of the adjective eu)/xulos -- is very probably quoted from its only other extant instance: Athenaeus, Deipnosphists 2.68F (2.78 Kaibel), himself quoting a phrase (from the early hellenistic medical writer Diphilos of Siphnos) about a melon, o( pe/pwn eu)xulo/teros kai\ e)pikrathtiko/s.
