Translation
[sc. A proverb] in reference to two people making peace with each other1 for evil and wickedness. The saying arose from a certain Krobyzos, a pimp, who had two courtesans to the ruin of many. So 'Krobyzos' yoke' [sc. is something said] by way of ridicule of two people agreeing, who previously they say had ceased to breathe or do wrong.
