Λάγανα: πλακουντάρια, ὡς καπυρώδη. παρὰ τὸ λαγαρύ. καί, λαγαριζόμενον καὶ τρώγοντα τὸ μηδέν. καὶ Δαβὶδ θύσας ἐπὶ τῇ τῆς κιβωτοῦ μεταθέσει γυναιξὶ καὶ ἀνδράσι καὶ νηπίοις διέδωκε κολλουρίδα ἄρτου καὶ ἐσχαρίτην καὶ λαγανιστὸν καὶ μερίδα θύματος.
Notes:
[1] The headword (neuter plural) has the same or similar glossing in other lexica. It is presumably quoted from somewhere, perhaps the Septuagint (Exodus 29.2, Leviticus 2.4 & 7.12, Numbers 6.15).
[2] cf. generally Etym. Magn. 554.11-13.
[3] An approximation of Aristophanes, Wasps 674. See again at lambda 14; also eta 589, tau 886.
[4] Source unidentifiable, but cf. 2 Reg. 6:19 LXX.
