ῥιζόφυτος
From LSJ
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
English (LSJ)
ον, A growing from a root, Ocell. 1.13.
German (Pape)
[Seite 843] aus der Wurzel, mit der Wurzel wachsend, Sp. Vgl. ῥιζοφοίτητος.
