Translation

[sc. Means he/she/it] much, vehemently has sexual intercourse, licentiously copulates. And it is also used in reference to each [= any] act done on the basis of excess.1
Concerning Origen [sc. it has been written]: "but you devised, by evil machination, [to make him] into a most disgraceful man. For they prepared an Ethiopian for him for abuse/misuse of the body."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παραχρᾶται· πολύ, σφοδρῶς συνουσιάζει, ἀκολάστως μίγνυται. εἴρηται δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ ἑκάστου πράγματος ἐκ περιουσίας γενομένου. περὶ Ὠριγένους· σοὶ δὲ κακομηχανίᾳ εἰς αἰσχρότατον ἄνδρα ἐπενοήθη. Αἰθίοπα γὰρ αὐτῷ παρεσκεύασαν εἰς παράχρησιν τοῦ σώματος.

Notes (2)

  1. 1Likewise in the Synagoge, Photius (pi321 Theodoridis), and elsewhere. (NB: it is unclear whether the opening polu/ is part of the headword lemma or, as Adler punctuates, part of the gloss.) The headword -- third person singular, present indicative, of paraxra/omai -- is evidently extracted from somewhere. The rest of the entry uses the related noun: see below. ↩
  2. 2Ostensibly George the Monk, Chronicon 457.21-458.2, also in the long Origen entry (omega 183); here however the first part is paraphrased and abbreviated. ↩
