*swlh/n, swlh=nos: to\ par' h(mi=n swlhna/rion.

cf. ps.-Herodian, Epimerismi 130.13. The headword is in the nominative singular, probably as a generic lexical reference (as in ps.-Herodian). The gloss reflects a late-Greek trend of replacing simple nouns with forms augmented by a diminutive suffix without altering the meaning substantially.
Adler compares sigma 833/sigma 834 with sigma 769, which some of the mss seem to conflate or confuse.
