Notes:
= Synagoge epsilon873; Photius, Lexicon epsilon2027. Adler also cites the Ambrosian Lexicon (2089) as a comparison. Apparently the point is that the headword might be taken to refer to the receiver of hospitality rather than the giver.
[1] This part of the entry also appears, inter alia, at Hesychius epsilon6400. Compare the different tradition (but along the same substantive lines) in Harpokration s.v. (citing Demosthenes 39.7) "the one who lays out a table for certain people":
