*met' o)li/gon xro/non: ai)tiatikh=|.

A marginal addition, Adler notes, in ms A.
The point of the gloss -- normally used with verbs -- might be to identify the proper case following meta/ in this idiomatic phrase. meta/ can also be followed by the genitive, and the genitive plural (met' o)li/gwn xro/nwn) would have been homophonous in late/Byzantine Greek.
