Translation

[Meaning] that which is¹ soaked with olive oil.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐλαιόδευστος· ἡ ἐλαίῳ διάβροχος.

Betacode

*)elaio/deustos: h( e)lai/w| dia/broxos.

Notes (1)

The headword adjective, transmitted in most mss as e)laio/deustos, should almost certainly be e)laio/deutos, as it is, Adler reports, in ms V (and consistently in Cyril of Alexandria: see further, next note). Note also ps.-Zonaras s.v. e)laio/deuton, glossed to\ e)laio/brekton
1Feminine, in fact. Such glossing means that the headword itself was applied either to a women or, much more probably, to a feminine noun. In all nine instances in Cyril (see above) that noun is semidalis (sigma 218).
