*geghrotrofhkw/s: e)n gh/rei qre/yas.

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere but is otherwise unattested) is the perfect participle (masculine nominative singular) of a verb, ghrotrofe/w, associated especially with looking after one's elderly parents.
