A saying. In reference to those not holding onto what they may take.[1]
Also[2] [sc. attested is the phrase] a)neri/nastos sukh= ["unripe fig"], one to which the erineoi have not been attached. An erineos is the fruit of the wild fig, which they hang up on the domesticated ones, so that the the gall-insects will be summoned from them onto the winter figs and prepare them to be ripened.[3] This is called erinazein ["to caprify"]. But others [say that] anerinastos stands for weak and unfruitful.
