[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those who are deceitfully [sic] or marveled at.
Poikilôteros hudras: epi tôn dolerôs êtoi thaumazomenôn.
cf.
Diogenianus 7.69, alongside the later paroemiographer
Macarius Chrysocephalus 7.30. These comparanda make it clear that the Suda compiler probably wrote (or should have written) the adjective
dolerw=n rather than the adverb
dolerw=s, yielding the more coherent gloss "in reference to those who are deceitful or marveled at."
For words related to the adjective in the phrase,
