Sidonius palindrome: Sole medere pede, ede perede melos

I'm hung up on a line of St. Sidonius (Epistulae ix: 14): "Sole medere pede, ede perede melos". I know its a palindrome, but what does it mean? If "medere" were "medare" I suppose it might be "Make it a habit to go halfway on foot; eat, eat up the song". But that's nonsense, isn't it? And of course if it were "medare" it wouldn't be a palindrome any more. I'm new to this forum. If anyone can help me with this I'll be real impressed. Thanks in advance...

"Sole medere pede, ede perede melos"
This is confusing. I think 'medere' comes from deponent medeor, mederi, - - heal, cure (either present indicative second person, or present imperative second person). If this is wrong, then I have no clue.

Looks like the comma is in the wrong place. Perhaps "sole medere, pede ede perede melos"? My guess is: heal with the sun, eat on foot, publish your songs. Maybe 'songs' could mean songs of mind, or works...
Is this part of your homework?

Thank you, but I'm afraid that doesn't help much. It does give me an idea, though-- maybe "pede" refers to a metrical foot?

And homework? No, I haven't thought of it that way in a long time. Senex sum.

OK, I found its German translation: Heile mit der Sonne, mach dir durch Wandern Appetit und veroeffentliche dann deine Werke. It says: heal with the sun, get appetite by walking/hiking and publish your works. I can't guarantee accuracy of the Latin to German translation though.

Gratias tibi ago, Princeps!

This one really had me stumped, and I am very grateful-- and impressed, by your kindness as well as by your erudition.

Darf ich auch fragen, wo Sie die Deutsche Texte gefunden haben?

Noch einmal: Vielen Dank!

Oh, Sie sprechen Deutsch auch? Vielen dank dann, vielen dank. Ich spreche Deutsch nicht so gut, aber genug zum ein bischen Hilfe mit latinische Sprache finden. Das war kein Text. Google gab mir ein paar Uebersetzungen, zum beishpiel hier.
Wo haben Sie Deutsch studiert?

An der Uni. Seit schon lange. Sehr lange. Mein Deutsch ist auch nicht gut-- aber doch besser als mein Latein!

I just could not resist bumping this
