Evidently a quoted phrase, with a gloss on it. On no discernible basis, Adler initially pointed to Callimachus as the origin of the phrase, but in her consolidated addenda and corrigenda she changed her mind (prompted by Erich Diehl): see Plato, Critias 112A (cited by LSJ, see web address 1); and subsequently in the paroemiographers.
