Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] took away. The metaphor¹ [comes] from honeycombs or from those sucking milk. Aristophanes in Birds [writes]: "a cloak-stealer struck me in the back with a club, and I fell [and] was going to shout; but he stole away my himation."²
Meaning let [it] fall.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀπέβλισεν· ἀφείλετο. ἡ μεταφορὰ ἀπὸ τῶν κηρίων ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν τὸ γάλα ἀμελγόντων. Ἀριστοφάνης Ὄρνισι· λωποδύτης παίει ῥοπάλῳ με τὸ νῶτον, κἀγὼ πίπτω μέλλω τε βοᾶν· ὁ δ' ἀπέβλισε θοιμάτιόν μου. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐξέρασεν.
