Greek original · Adler’s text

Κάταγμα· ἐρίου κατάπασμα, ἢ μήρυμα.

Betacode

*ka/tagma: e)ri/ou kata/pasma, h)\ mh/ruma.

Notes (1)

This is LSJ's ka/tagma (A). Same or similar glossing in other lexica (see the references at Photius kappa235 Theodoridis); and cf. under mu 981.
1cf. the scholia to Aristophanes, Lysistrata 583 (web address 1), where kataspa/smata ("fragments") appears in place of the lexicographers' kata/pasma ("powder").
