Notes:
[1] The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of the verb
klhteu/w. It has this same glossing already in
Hesychius kappa2978, and is presumably quoted from somewhere.
[2] LSJ s.v.
klhth/r (of which
klh/twr is a variant): "witness who gave evidence that the legal summons had been served". See also
kappa 1794,
kappa 1795.

Aristophanes,
Clouds 1217-1218 (web address 1). "To give witness" is how the word is glossed in the
