Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius phi228 Theodoridis. The headword is genitive singular of the noun floi=sbos, quoted from Homer, Iliad 5.322; cf. the scholia there. It is a poetic word used to indicate any confused roaring noise (so LSJ, at web address 1, with instances), especially the din of battle (as in the present instance) but also e.g. the roar of the sea.
cf. pi 2013.
