The headword (extracted from the quotation given) is aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
xa/zw (LSJ s.v. B at web address 1); see also
kappa 1455 and a series of entries in
Hesychius, who glosses the verb as synonymous with
xwre/w and two of its compounds,
a)naxwre/w (as in this entry) and
u(poxwre/w.

Homer,
Iliad 4.535(= 5.626, 13.148; see web address 2), followed by material which clumsily (for 'would be scattered' read 'would fall out') paraphrases Aristonicus' corresponding
scholia.
