[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those who are being killed pitifully; inasmuch as many are terribly ruined by women.¹ Also [sc. attested is] "a woman's buttocks", in reference to the idle. Or because it is necessary for women to remain at home.²

Γυναικὸς ὄλεθρος· ἐπὶ τῶν οἰκτρῶς ἀναιρουμένων· παρόσον πολλοὶ δεινῶς ὑπὸ γυναικῶν ἀπώλοντο. καὶ Γυναικὸς πυγή, ἐπὶ τῶν ἀργῶν. ἢ ὅτι χρὴ τὰς γυναῖκας οἴκοι μένειν.
