[Meaning they who are] striking, touching.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὑποκρεκόντων· κρουόντων, ἐγγιζόντων.

Betacode

*(upokreko/ntwn: krouo/ntwn, e)ggizo/ntwn.

Notes

Headword and gloss are in fact genitive plural (masculine/neuter) of present participles, the headword one evidently quoted from somewhere (thiough attested only here). The verb refers to stringed musical instuments when accompanying.
Adler notes the view of Jonathan Toup (1713-1785) that the entry derives from scholia on Pindar, Olympian Odes 9.39, where u(pokre/kei occurs.
