Translation

[Meaning] the wage given to heralds, for the tasks they performed. So Isaeus [sc. uses the word].1
It also means the office of herald. It is also a neuter word, khru/keion, [meaning] the fee for making the proclamation; what we call a reward.
Also [sc. attested is] Kerykeion, a mountain of Ephesos.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κηρυκεία· ὁ διδόμενος μισθὸς κήρυξιν, ἐπὶ ταῖς γινομέναις πράξεσιν. οὕτως Ἰσαῖος. σημαίνει δὲ καὶ τὴν κηρύκευσιν. λέγεται καὶ οὐδετέρως κηρύκειον, ὁ ἐπὶ τῇ κηρύξει μισθός· ὃ παρ' ἡμῖν μήνυτρον λέγεται. καὶ Κηρύκειον, ὄρος Ἐφέσου.
