Translation

A measure of land.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κωδαλοῦχος· μέτρον γῆς.

Betacode

*kwdalou=xos: me/tron gh=s.

Notes

Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. ps.-Zonaras glosses the same word as sxoi=nic, which appears to mean xoi=nic, a measure of dry weight. What ps.-Zonaras glosses as "a measure of land" is *kwdalou=. Either way, such a measure is not otherwise attested, and the entries appear be a distortion of Hipponax fr. 151a West "Kodalos' choinix", which appears independently as kappa 1902 (q.v.).
