Translation

[To fall back] is the word for being despondent among the ancients. To fall back is [properly applied to]¹ the heart, as being despondent, being neglectful.² But Cratinus uses this term for rowers, rowing and reclining.³
Also [sc. attested is] a)napesei=n,⁴ [meaning] to recline.

Greek original

Ἀναπίπτειν τὸ ἀθυμεῖν λέγεται παρὰ τοῖς παλαιοῖς. ἀναπίπτειν ἐπὶ ψυχῆς ἐστιν, οἷον ἀθυμεῖν, ὀλιγωρεῖν. Κρατῖνος δὲ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐρετῶν κέχρηται τῇ λέξει, ἐρεσσόντων καὶ ἀνακλινομένων. καὶ Ἀναπεσεῖν, ἀνακλιθῆναι.
