ὥσπερ γὰρ ζώου τῶν ὄψεων ἀφαιρεθεισῶν ἀχρειοῦται τὸ ὅλον, οὕτως ἐξ ἱστορίας ἀναιρεθείσης τῆς ἀληθείας τὸ καταλειπόμενον αὐτῆς ἀνωφελὲς γίνεται διήγημα → for just as a living creature which has lost its eyesight is wholly incapacitated, so if history is stripped of her truth all that is left is but an idle tale | for, just as closed eyes make the rest of an animal useless, what is left from a history blind to the truth is just a pointless tale

Greek Monolingual

νυκτεγερτῶ και νυκτηγρετῶ, -έω (Α)
είμαι φρουρός και αγρυπνώ κατά τη διάρκεια της νύχτας.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < νύξ, νυκτός + ἐγερτῶ, πιθ. μέσω αμάρτυρου τ. νυκτεγέρτης (< νύξ, νυκτός + ἐγείρω «ξαγρυπνώ»). Ο τ. νυκτηγρετῶ < νύξ, νυκτός + θ. εγρε- του ἐγείρω (πρβλ. εγρεκύδοιμος), με έκταση λόγω συνθέσεως].
