Translation
[Meaning] abuse. And the forensic [orators] use the word.1 The term pompeia is also applied to the equipment prepared for the processions, as the same orator says in the [speech] Against Androtion.1 Philochorus says that formerly the Athenians used to use pompeia made out of the property of the 30 [Tyrants]. But latterly Androtion supplied other ones.2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πομπεία· λοιδορία. καὶ οἱ δικανικοὶ χρῶνται τῷ ὀνόματι. λέγεται πομπεῖα καὶ τὰ εἰς πομπὰς κατασκευαζόμενα σκεύη, ὡς ὁ αὐτὸς ῥήτωρ ἐν τοῖς κατὰ Ἀνδροτίωνος ὑποσημαίνει. Φιλόχορος δέ φησιν, ὡς πρότερον ἐχρῶντο οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι τοῖς ἐκ τῆς οὐσίας τῶν λʹ κατασκευασθεῖσιν. ὀψὲ δὲ καὶ Ἀνδροτίων ἄλλα κατεσκεύασε.

- The entry combines two consecutive ones in Photius' Lexicon: pi1072 (as far as 'use the word') and pi1073 Theodoridis.
- 1Demosthenes 22.48 (web address 1). He is 'the same orator' because in Harpokration s.v., abridged by Photius, he has already been cited (18.11, which spells out more fully what is merely implicit here, the link between certain cult processions and ritual abuse). For the first half of Harpok. s.v., see the next entry here, pi 2023. ↩
