Meaning, with the resolution, qa/ssete. Or you are seated quickly [qow=s]. Sophocles [writes]: "why are you thus sitting before me?"¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Θοάζετε· κατὰ διάλυσιν, ἀντὶ τοῦ θάσσετε. ἢ θοῶς προκάθησθε. Σοφοκλῆς· τίνας ποθ' ἕδρας τάσδε μοι θοάζετε;

*qoa/zete: kata\ dia/lusin, a)nti\ tou= qa/ssete. h)\ qow=s proka/qhsqe. *sofoklh=s: ti/nas poq' e(/dras ta/sde moi qoa/zete;

The headword (extracted from the quotation given) is second-person plural, present indicative, of LSJ's qoa/zw(B) = qaa/ssw. The second gloss reflects qoa/zw(A), "I dart/rush," derived from the adjective qoo/s "swift"; cf. generally theta 397.
