Translation

A deme of Attica.¹
And a flower, which smells when crushed.
And [there is] a proverb from it, "You are moving the anagyros", in reference to those who bring evils on themselves.
Anagyros is an evil-averting and foul-smelling plant. Some call it onogyros.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνάγυρος· δῆμος τῆς Ἀττικῆς. καὶ ἄνθος, ὃ τριβόμενον ὄζει. καὶ παροιμία ἐντεῦθεν, Κινεῖς τὸν ἀνάγυρον, ἐπὶ τῶν ἐπισπωμένων ἑαυτοῖς τὰ κακά. ἔστι δὲ τὸ φυτὸν ὁ ἀνάγυρος ἀλεξίκακον καὶ δυσῶδες. οἱ δὲ ὀνόγυρον αὐτό φασιν.
