Translation:
[Meaning] to use claptrap.

Notes:
= Photius rho100 Theodoridis.
As Adler notes (and Theodoridis agrees), the entry is probably generated by Polybius 12.25i.9 Büttner-Wobst, where the headword infinitive occurs -- albeit not in the sense glossed here -- in Polybius' critique of Timaeus [tau 600, tau 602].
For the glossing verb dhmhgore/w in this disparaging sense, see LSJ s.v., II.
Keywords: biography; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; historiography; rhetoric
