[Meaning] with [something] of the Galli.¹ "Having often offered, with the Gallian howl of Cybele, the cry, hard on the hearing, [that comes] from their mouths, she dedicated these tresses to the mountain goddess at her door, when she thus rested her foot hot from the raving."²

Γαλλαίῳ· τῷ τῶν Γάλλων. Γαλλαίῳ Κυβέλης ὀλολύγματι πολλάκι δοῦσα τὸν βαρὺν εἰς ἀκοὰς ἦχον ἀπὸ στομάτων, τάσδε θεῇ χαίτας περὶ δικλίδι θῆκεν ὀρείᾳ, θερμὸν ἐπεὶ λύσσης ὧδ' ἀνέπαυσε πόδα.

The headword, dative singular of a putative adjective *gallai=os, is evidently drawn from the quotation that follows. The only other attestation of any form of the word comes in a poem by Gregory of Nazianzus (PG 37.1572.3) in a probable imitation of the poem cited here (*gallai/hs *kube/lhs o)lolu/gmata ('howls of the Gallian Cybele')).
1Though 'Galli' (*ga/lloi) can mean 'Gauls', in the quotation that follows the headword adjective refers to the Galli who were castrated devotees of Cybele; see gamma 41. ↩
