Adler cites this from
Synesius,
Letter 113 (254b), where in fact it is presented as already proverbial (see the translation of A. Fitzgerald at web address 1).
The paroemiographers who include it do so, as
Synesius does, with a
kai/ ('even') omitted here; and they gloss it as applying to the aged or unfortunate who are still in good shape.
Another excerpt from the same letter appears at
alpha 3321.
For camels see generally
kappa 282.
