Same entry in Photius and elsewhere. The headword, aorist active infinitive of a)daca/w (or a)dace/w: see LSJ, and cf. generally omicron 28, omicron 29), is evidently quoted from somewhere.
[1] This omicron is a textual addition by Johann Pierson (1731-59) in his 1756 edition of the lexicographer Moeris.
