Translation
[sc. A proverb] in reference to those deservedly suffering the most extreme things; in as much as aged horses are hurled and thrown into ravines.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Γραῦς ὥς τις ἵππος τὸν χαραδραῖον τάφον ἕξεις· ἐπὶ τῶν ἀξίως τὰ ἔσχατα πασχόντων· παρόσον οἱ γεγηρακότες ἵπποι εἰς τὰς χαράδρας κρημνίζονται καὶ ἐμβάλλονται.
