Translation:

Chili is Greek for Latin labia {"lips"}, chilos is Latin labium {"a lip"}.


Commentary:

Simon transcribes Greek χείλη /kheílē/ "lips", /khíli/ in the itacist pronunciation of the time as chili, i.e. /khíli/, and renders the sg. χεῖλος /kheîlos/ "a lip", itacist i/khílos/, as chilos.
