Translation:
The proverb[1] [functions] not in terms of an opposition,[2] but aims to say "o sweet traits". It is a proverb, as [applied to] someone/something addressed. Thus the comic poet Plato [used it] in the PhaƓn. An old man there is in love with a girl piper [and says]: "o golden hairband! o for my luxuriant ways! o sweet elbow!"[3] As if someone might say, "o sweet arm".
