[Meaning] turning round on the same road. Philetaerus in Meleager [Author, Myth] [writes]: "[it's] not a woman I'm sick of; go away home, girl, go back again."¹

Greek original

Ἀμπαλίνωρος· ἀναστρέφων τὴν αὐτὴν ὁδόν. Φιλέταιρος Μελεάγρῳ· οὐ πρὸς γυναικὸς ὁ κόρος· οἴκαδ', ὦ κόρη, ἄπιθι ἀμπαλίνωρος.

Notes (1)

Same entry (albeit slightly longer) in Photius, similar one in Hesychius.
According to LSJ the headword adjective should properly be spelled a)mpali/norros, i.e. a strengthening of pali/norros.
1Philetaerus fr. 11 Kock (and K.-A.).
