Translation
[sc. A proverbial saying] in reference to those who are not even freed after labor. From the metaphor of oxen: for whenever they are let off work, the farmers are accustomed to put the yoke and burdens on the stronger one.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀνὰ σοὶ τάδε πάντα, λέπαργε· ἐπὶ τῶν οὐδὲ μετὰ τὸν κάματον ἀνιεμένων, ἐκ μεταφορᾶς τῶν βοῶν. ἐπειδὰν γὰρ ἀπολυθῶσι τοῦ ἔργου, εἰώθασιν οἱ γεωργοὶ τῷ δυνατωτέρῳ ἐπιτιθέναι τὸν ζυγὸν καὶ τὰ σκεύη.
