Same entry in ps.-

Ambrosian Lexicon (2400). The headword -- comparative, masculine nominative singular, of the adjective
eu)/xulos -- is very probably quoted from its only other extant instance:
Athenaeus,
Deipnosphists 2.68F (2.78 Kaibel), himself quoting a phrase (from the early hellenistic medical writer
Diphilos of
Siphnos) about a melon,
o( pe/pwn eu)xulo/teros kai\ e)pikrathtiko/s.
