For this sense of the headword verb καινόω , here in its present infinitive, see LSJ s.v., II (= καινίζω , kappa 1170). The gloss comes from a misguided gloss on Herodotus 2.100.3 (web address 1), where this infinitive does occur (of Nitokris inaugurating an underground chamber) but τῳ̂ λόγῳ is part of an 'ostensibly a, actually b' contrast.
