Greek original · Adler’s text
Πλαδαρόν· χαῦνον, ὑγρόν. πλάδας γὰρ καὶ πλαδώσεις. καὶ Πλαδαρώματα. καὶ Πλαδῶσιν, ὑγροῖς, χαύνοις, ἀσθενέσιν. οὐ γὰρ ἔτι ὀρέγεσθαι τροφῆς, πλαδῶντος αὐτῷ τοῦ στομάχου. τουτέστιν ὑγροῦ καὶ ἀσθενοῦς ὄντος. οὕτω φησὶ Δαμάσκιος. καὶ αὖθις Πολύβιος· τὰ μὲν ἄλλα καλῶς ἔχειν αὐτῷ πρὸς τὴν χρείαν, τὸ δὲ δόρυ πλαδαρὸν εἶναι. καὶ Πλαδόωσαν.
