Translation:
A throwing down.[1] For example, [an animal] eating enough from a manger.[2] It declines καββαλῖνος .[3] The word is a compound of κάπη ["manger"] and ἅλις ["enough"]. For it is what remains when animals are eating from a manger.
Greek Original:
Καββαλίς: ὁ καταβαλών. οἷον ἀπὸ κάπης ἅλις ἐσθίων. κλίνεται δὲ καββαλῖνος. ἔγκειται δὲ ἡ κάπη καὶ τὸ ἅλις. περίττωμα γάρ ἐστι τῶν ἀπὸ κάπης ἐσθιόντων ἀλόγων.
Notes:
[1] cf. kappa 3. In some Greek dialects kata- becomes kabb-.
[2] cf. Etym.Magn. 482.18.
[3] That is, this is the genitive form, from which one gets the stem.
