Notes:
= Synagoge epsilon873; Photius epsilon2027. Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 2089 as a comparison. Apparently the point is that the headword might be taken to refer to the receiver of hospitality rather than the giver.
[1] This part of the entry also appears, inter alia, at Hesychius epsilon6400. Comapre the different tradition (but along the same substantive lines) in Harpokration s.v. (citing Demosthenes 39.7) "the one who lays out a table for certain people":
