Translation
"O cheat!" He has created some deity. Such as a mishap or something of the kind. As someone might say, "O injustice and deprivation!" He has manufactured the name of some daimon,1 giving her a bodily form, from the [sc. notion of] cheating, and disturbing and depriving.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Παιόλη· ὦ παιόλη. θεόν τινα πεποίηκεν. οἷον ἐκτροπὴν ἤ τινα τοιαύτην. ὡς ἂν εἴποι τις, ὦ ἀδικία καὶ ἀποστέρησις. πέπλακε τὸ ὄνομα δαίμονός τινος, σωματοποιήσας αὐτήν, παρὰ τὸ ἀπαιολεῖν, καὶ κινεῖν καὶ ἀποστερεῖν.
