Translation
[Meaning] a dish put together from many ingredients. A Lydian recipe [made] from blood and other dishes; from which they also call mixing something up and making a paste of it 'saucing'.1
Also [sc. attested is the verb] 'to sauce up',2 [meaning] the [process of] embellishing a speech with a variety of words. For sauces [are] sweetenings and seasonings. Also [sc. attested is] 'sauce' [in the sense of] intestines, what they now call (?)haggis.
Also [sc. attested is] a proverb: neither Lydians' sauces nor the crack of whips [for me].3
