Translation

[Meaning] from the seats. For e(/drai is the term for saddles, settles, privies.¹
There is also the nominative o( a)fedrw/n, and it means the part of the body around the anus.²
[Note] that a)fedrw/n and lutrw/nwn [are] vulgar [words].³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀφ' ἑδρῶν· ἀπὸ τῶν ἑδρῶν. ἕδραι γὰρ λέγονται αἱ σέλλαι, σελλάρια, σωτήρια. ἔστι δὲ καὶ εὐθεῖα ὁ ἀφεδρὼν, καὶ σημαίνει τὸ μέρος τοῦ σώματος τὸ περὶ τὴν ἔξοδον. ὅτι ὁ ἀφεδρὼν καὶ λυτρώνων βάρβαρα.
