Translation

[Meaning something] spongy.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Σομφῶδες· τὸ χαῦνον.

Betacode
*somfw=des: to\ xau=non. 

Notes

  1. Neuter singular of this adjective, presumably quoted from somewhere. In ps-Zonaras the present gloss is preceded by '[something] hilly'; and Hesychius sigma1333 glosses the feminine plural somfw/deis with the phrase 'the more/rather spongy of beaches'.
    Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV (but a marginal addition in A).
