Translation
The [participle] w)xriw=sa [comes] not from being afraid, but is equivalent to being ill. From a metaphor of invalids. For this is what [Aristophanes] said: "the city turning pale and sunk in fear".
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὠχριῶσα· οὐ παρὰ τὸ φοβούμενος τὸ ὠχριῶσα, ἀλλ' ἴσον τῷ ἀσθενοῦσα. ἀπὸ μεταφορᾶς τῶν νοσούντων. οὕτω γὰρ εἶπεν· ἡ πόλις ὠχριῶσα καὶ φόβῳ καθημένη.
