Translation: [To fall back] is the word for being despondent among the ancients. To fall back is [properly applied to][1] the heart, as being despondent, being neglectful.[2] But
Cratinus uses this term for rowers, rowing and reclining.[3]
Also [sc. attested is]
a)napesei=n,[4] [meaning] to recline.

Notes:
See also
alpha 2018. The source for both is
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 1.23B (1.42 Kaibel). See further below, nn.1-2.
[1]
Athenaeus has this adverb,
kuri/ws.
[2] So the Suda mss,
o)ligwrei=n; but
o)ligodranei=n (
Athenaeus), "to be feeble", looks better.
[3]
Cratinus fr. 345 Kock, now 332 K.-A.
[4] The same verb, but aorist infinitive rather than present.
