Translatum

The DGE compiler probably consulted Matthaei’s 1802 edition of Nemesius, On Human Nature with the relevant text οὐδὲ ταῦτα δὲ παντάπασιν ἐκπέφευγε τὴν τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὄνησιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ δηλητηριὠδη πρὸς οἰκείαν ὠφέλειαν ὀ λόγος καρποῦται (where δηλητηριὠδη carries its normal sense of “noxious”): “Nor have those things eluded human profit, but man’s reason (ὀ λόγος ) has harvested the noxious things as well for his own advantage.” Matthaei then comments, Intelligit animalia venenata, ex quibus contra ipsorum venenum medicina paratur (“he means venomous animals, from which remedies are made to counter their own venom”). With τὰ θεριώδη los animales venenosos, DGE is making the same comment, though in a vastly abbreviated form. The inadvertently misspelled “θεριώδη” (= θηριὠδη, “bestial”) is meant not as a substitute or textual supplement, but as an explanation, again, of τὰ δηλητηριὠδη. So DGE's τὰ θεριώδη is to be interpreted as follows: as a substantive in Nemesius, De natura hominis M.40.532A, τὰ δηλητηριὠδη = δηλητηριὠδη τὰ θηριὠδη, "noxious bestial things," i.e. venomous animals.
