[Meaning] to draw up water. "I was/they were pouring it down on her and to draw up the bucket." [So says] Pherecrates in Korianno.[1]

Same entry in Photius and elsewhere. Oddly, whereas the headword is the aorist middle infinitive of a)nudreu/w, what the quotation given includes is the aorist active infinitive.
