[Meaning] great gluttony.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τεθνία· γαστριμαργία πολλή.

Betacode

*teqni/a: gastrimargi/a pollh/.

Notes

Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius tau107 Theodoridis. Modern editors (Cunningham/Hansen on Hesychius, and now Theodoridis) object to the transmitted headword tethnia, which ought to be tentheia.
Copied from here to the end of tau 314 (tenqei/a).
