[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those experiencing a turn for the worse. [Arising] from a certain Mandrobolos, who discovered the quarry in Samos:1 at first he dedicated a golden ram,2 then a silver one, then a smaller bronze one, and then no longer [made any dedications], according to Ephorus.3
