Translation:
Apollonius [son] of Archibius[1] says [meta/] has five meanings: there and with all.[2] [Meaning] for: "to Temese for bronze."[3] [Meaning] (?)not: "behind the dark-prowed ship."[4] [Meaning] under/by: "his locks were made to flow by the breath of wind."[5] [Meaning] into: "into the midst of the company of companions."[6] [Meaning] with: "but I together with them ..."[7] [Meaning] toward: "then he threw the ball toward the blameless queen."[8]
"But he shut the staff with a cup and a lid, and held it always with [his] hands, not putting it down by day and at night laying it under his head."[9]
And elsewhere: "I have an equal share of this territory" (instead of me/testin), "just like you; and I am vexed and distressed at everything the city does."[10]

Notes:
[1] Apollonius the Sophist (see alpha 3423), in his Homeric Lexicon s.v. meta/ (111.29-34). See also Photius, Lexicon mu306 Theodoridis.
It is true that Apollonius names (and illustrates) five senses of meta/ there, but they are e)n, e)pi/, e)c, u(po/ and ei)s, i.e. (even disregarding the textual problems: see below) not the same ones as Photius and the Suda.
[2] A garbling of Apollonius (and Photius), who was citing the preposition in the sense of 'in (amongst)', i.e. not e)nqa/de but e)n, and illustrating it with Homer, Iliad 15.96 (web address 1), tau=ta de\ kai\ meta\ pa=sin.
[3] Homer, Odyssey 1.184 (web address 2).
[4] Homer, Odyssey 11.6 (web address 3), with kato/pisqe. Adler indicates that 'not' (ou)) is faulty, comparing Apollonius; Theodoridis obelizes it, and in his apparatus says 'supply e)c'.
[5] Homer, Iliad 23.367 (web address 4).
[6] Homer, Iliad 7.115 (web address 5).
[7] Homer, Odyssey 22.318 (web address 6).
[8] cf. Homer, Odyssey 6.115 (web address 7); cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 5.264.
[9] Aelian fr. 292 Domingo-Forasté (295 Hercher), of an unidentifiable individual. An odd passage anyway; could 'staff' be an error?
[10] Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 173-5 (web address 8), with scholion; quoted again at pi 2809. See also mu 677.
