['Fine singing -- often during the day changing';] ['fine singing'] or fine voicing or fine weather.

The headword phrase has been translated here as the Suda (following
Photius,
Lexicon epsilon2250) transmits it, but it needs two corrections.
Its origins lie in
Hesychius epsilon6994, where
eumolpia is glossed with
euphonia (as here) and
eu(h)ymnia. Later, by the time of the
Lexica Segueriana, something longer and more like the Suda's entry has come into being, except that the headword phrase there makes both grammatical and substantive sense (with
eumolpia in the dative, and the participle as
terpomenos): someone masculine is "often enjoying the day in fine singing". However, in
Photius the participle becomes
trepomenos and
eumolpia an ungrammatical nominative (as here) -- with the two glossing synonyms
eu)froni/ai and
eu)menei/ai (sic).
The headword quotation (if such it is) is unidentifiable.
Note incidentally
Pausanias 10.5.6 for the hexameter poem
Eumolpia attributed to
Musaeus, son of Antiphemus; cf. under
mu 1294.
