Translation

[Meaning] they went into repentance.¹ When the Parians were attacked by the Athenians, they asked first for an armistice to deliver the city, but then, expecting an alliance from somewhere, dissolved the agreements.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνεπαρίασαν· εἰς μετάμελον ἦλθον. ἐπειδὴ οἱ Πάριοι πολεμούμενοι ὑπὸ Ἀθηναίων ἀνοχὰς τὸ πρῶτον αἰτήσαντες ἐπὶ τῷ δοῦναι τὴν πόλιν, εἶτα συμμαχίαν ποθὲν προσδοκήσαντες ἔλυσαν τὰ ὁμολογηθέντα.

Notes (1)

The headword is a single word in the Greek.
A fuller version of this proverb (Zenobius 2.21 and other paroemiographers) occurs in Stephanus of Byzantium, s.v. Paros, quoting Ephorus (FGrH 70 F63).
The episode in question is the unsuccessful siege of the Aegean island of Paros by Athenian forces under Miltiades in 489 BCE; see principally Herodotus 6.133-136.
1This initial gloss is not in the paroemiographers, and misunderstands the episode (and the proverb); the whole point is that the Parians' behaviour was unapologetic.
