Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] unfolds.¹
And [there is] a proverb: "even if you ruin your shoulders winnowing water, water still remains"; in reference to those who labour endlessly.²
Als [sc. attested is] a)napo/lhsis ["repetition"] a feminine [noun].

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀναπολεῖ· ἀναπτύσσει. καὶ παροιμία· ἂν ἀπολῇς τοὺς ὤμους ὕδωρ πτίσσων, ὁμοίως ὕδωρ μένει· ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνήνυτα πονούντων. καὶ Ἀναπόλησις θηλυκόν.

Notes (1)

[1] For this headword see already alpha 2030. Here again must be quoted from somewhere.
2If Adler's choice amongst the mss variants is correct, this proverb (again at upsilon 55) does not contain the headword verb but, instead, the two-word phrase a)\n a)polh=|s "if you destroy". See however the version in Lucian, Hermotimus 79, which has a)poba/lh| (and Attic pti/ttwn).
