Translation
An adverb of place, [sc. sometimes used] instead of o(/pou .
"Sit here on this unshaped stone, for you have travelled a long way for an old man". Meaning you came a very long way, [sc. longer] than was right for an old man.1

Greek original · Adler’s text
Οὗ· τοπικὸν ἐπίρρημα, ἀντὶ τοῦ ὅπου. οὗ κῶλα κάμψον τοῦδ' ἐπ' ἀξέστου πέτρου, μακρὰν γὰρ ὡς γέροντι προυστάλης ὁδόν. ἀντὶ τοῦ προῆλθες μακροτάτην ὁδὸν ἢ ὡς ἔπρεπε γέροντι. καὶ αὖθις· δειξάτω, οὗ κεῖται Ὁμήρου ῥαψῳδιῶν στίχος. ἀλλ' οὐδ' ἂν Ἴωνα δοκῶ τὸν ῥαψῳδὸν ἐξευρεῖν.
