Hesychius has a very similar entry (under e)khriw/qh), as well as glosses for khriou=sqai ('to turn to wax') and khrioqh=nai ('to be turned to wax'). Etymologicum Magnum and Etymologicum Genuinum have a similar entry with the headword spelt e)khrw/qhn. None of these words occur outside lexicography, however.
