minaciae
From LSJ
κρείσσων γὰρ ἦσθα μηκέτ' ὢν ἢ ζῶν τυφλός → thou wert better not alive, than living blind | you were better not alive, than living blind
Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
mĭnācĭae: arum, f. minae,
I menaces, threats, with a play upon the double meaning of minae; v. 1. mina: at ego oves et lanam et alia multa quae poscet dabo. Meliust te minis certare mecum quam minaciis, Plaut. Truc. 5, 55 sq. (but Plaut. Rud. 3, 5, 16; id. Capt. 4, 2, 22, the true reading is minae).
Latin > French (Gaffiot 2016)
mĭnācĭæ, ārum, f. (minax), menaces : Pl. Truc. 948.
