The headword is an adverb from the adjective
eu)/lofos which (in LSJ's sense II s.v.) literally means 'well-necked (sc. for bearing the yoke)'. The adverb occurs in the first quotation, the adjective (in the dative singular) in the second.
The lexicographer might have extracted the adverb from
Damascius, though there are instances in (fragments of)
Sophocles and
Euripides.

Damascius,

alpha 158). In any event the
Xenophon passage alluded to is
Oeconomicus 1.15. (It was also cited, twice, in
Plutarch's treatise
How to profit by one's enemies: see
Moralia 86C-E.)
