English (Thayer)

γαγγραινης, ἡ (γράω or γραίνω to gnaw, eat), a gangrene, a disease by which any part of the body suffering from inflammation becomes so corrupted that, unless a remedy be seasonably applied, the evil continually spreads, attacks other parts, and at last eats away the bones: Wetstein (1752) at the passage cited); Plutarch, diser. am. et adulat. c. 36.)
