[1] Taken from
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon s.v., and repeated in other lexica: see the references at
Photius kappa663 Theodoridis, noting the nineteenth-century (Baiter-Sauppe, Naber) attribution of the headword participle to
Plato,
Menexenus 235A; see further below.
[2] The verb
khle/w means to beguile, particularly with music, though not exclusively by pipes (LSJ s.v. and
kappa 1515). The present middle/passive participle is first attested in
Euripides fr. 10.87 Page, but the likely source for the lexica is
Plato, consistent with
Timaeus' gloss. Besides
Mexenenus 235B (by orators -- the cited masculine nominative singular), above, see also
Laws 885D (charmed by gifts -- nominative plural),
Republic 607D (by poetry -- dative plural)
Phaedrus 259A (by the sound of cicadas -- accusative plural).
Timaeus' pipes are illustrative and not defining for the verb, as the Suda implies in its extrapolation, since
Plato does not directly refer to them.
