[1] The headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is aorist active infinitive of the verb
e)kmalqako/w, a variant of
e)kmala/ssw. Same glossing in other lexica.
[2] The mss of the source of this quotation (see note 3) have
oi(=a/ in place of
oi(/as, which would yield instead "[...] and many other things that are able to soften minds full of arrogance." The source also reads
e(/tera in place of
a)/lla at the beginning of the quotation, but this produces little difference in meaning.
[3] Part of
Menander Protector fr. 5.2 Blockley, as preserved among Constantine Porphyrogenitus'
Excerpts on Legations 442.31 - 443.1.
