Greek original · Adler’s text

Γεῶρες· οἱ γεωφύλακες.

Betacode

*gew=res: oi( gewfu/lakes.

Same gloss in Hesychius; similar in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler. Apparently from gh= and *o)rv- (as in ou)=ros in LSJ); a relationship with geiw/ras "sojourner, proselyte" is uncertain.
See also gamma 218 (and cf. gamma 219).
