Greek original · Adler’s text

Μωκώμενος· κατατρώγων.

Betacode
*mwkw/menos: katatrw/gwn.

Notes

  1. The headword participle occurs in one of the Letters of Epicurus (Diogenes Laertius 10.127). The present gloss is hard to fathom, but the Etymologicum Gudianum has a similar gloss for mwkw=. Adler says that the Ambrosian Lexicon has a different gloss.
    For the verb cf. under mu 1319.
