[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those who are deceitfully [sic] or marveled at.
*poikilw/teros u(/dras: e)pi\ tw=n dolerw=s h)/toi qaumazome/nwn.
cf.
Diogenianus 7.69, alongside the later paroemiographer
Macarius Chrysocephalus 7.30. These comparanda make it clear that the Suda compiler probably wrote (or should have written) the adjective
dolerw=n rather than the adverb
dolerw=s, yielding the more coherent gloss "in reference to those who are deceitful or marveled at."
For words related to the adjective in the phrase,
