Translation
The aryballos [is] a braided pouch [sc. and the term comes] from a)ru/ein ["to draw in"] and ba/llein ["to cast out"]; or a vial. It is said to dispense not only liquids, but also solids; as here with ambrosia. "[I saw the goddess] pour out ambrosia from an aryballos on your head, but garlic pickle sauce on his."1
