Greek Original:

Empedokleous echthra: epi tôn epimonôs echthrôdountôn pros tinas. Lusias: ôimên de egôge toiautêi philiai sunêrmosthai, hôste mêd' an tên Empedokleous echthran empodôn hêmin genesthai.

[1] Lysias fr. 261 Sauppe, now 459 Carey OCT; from a letter. (It underlines its point with wordplay: Empedokles/e)mpodw\n "impede".) The phrase sounds proverbial already by this time, and it certainly became so later: see Diogenianus 4.77 and other paroemiographers.
