Translation
This saying comes from those bearing burdens, not only on the shoulder[s] but also on the head.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Τρίτη κεφαλή· τοῦτο εἴρηται ἀπὸ τῶν ἀχθοφορούντων, οὐ μόνον κατὰ τὸν ὦμον, ἀλλὰ καὶ κατὰ τῆς κεφαλῆς.

Notes
- cf. [Plutarch], Proverbs which the Alexandrians used 1.99 (and Mantissa Proverbiorum 3.28). The headword phrase should be in the dative, and "on the shoulders" and "on the head" both in the genitive.
