Ἀντλεῖν ἀμφοτέραις· λείπει χερσί. παροιμία ἐπὶ τῶν σπουδῇ τι ποιούντων. καὶ Ἀντλήσατε ὕδωρ· αἰτιατικῇ. ἀντλῶ σοι δὲ ὕδωρ.

- 1Also in Zenobius 1.98 and other paroemiographers. ↩
- 2If the phrase "I am drawing water for you" is a quotation (rather than simply being a paradigmatic phrase to illustrate this idiom with dative of person), it is unidentifiable. However, the aorist
a)ntlh/sate u(/dwr is attested several times in Christian writings as a variant of the futurea)ntlh/sete u(/dwr in the Septuagint (Isaiah 12.3:a)ntlh/sete u(/dwr met' eu)frosu/nhs e)k tw=n phgw=n tou= swthri/ou . ↩
