Translation

[Meaning] a gift proffered on the occasion of an earthquake.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κόμοδα· δόσις ἐπὶ σεισμοῦ παρεχομένη.

Betacode

*ko/moda: do/sis e)pi\ seismou= parexome/nh.

Notes

Latin commoda.
Same entry, according to Adler, in the unedited Lexicon codicis Barocciani 50 (f109-110). The gloss is, at one and the same time, oddly specific (why only earthquake and not e.g. flood?) and frustratingly vague (does the gift go to the earthquake's victims, or to placate the gods?).
