Adler identifies this entry as coming from the source of the Lexicon Ambrosianum without citing a specific parallel.
Perhaps from commentary to Plato, who uses the headword twice in Laws: 729C and 783A (both accusative singular, and concerning procreative 'seed'); cf. the similar glossing in Proclus, Commentary on Plato's Timaeus 3.233, 3.276, 3.290; Commentary on Plato's Republic 2.162.
