τί δ' ἢν ῥαφανιδωθῇ πιθόμενός σοι τέφρᾳ τε τιλθῇ, ἕξει τινὰ γνώμην λέγειν τὸ μὴ εὐρύπρωκτος εἶναι; → What if he should have a radish shoved up his ass because he trusted you and then have hot ashes rip off his hair? What argument will he be able to offer to prevent himself from having a gaping-anus | but suppose he trusts in your advice and gets a radish rammed right up his arse, and his pubic hairs are burned with red-hot cinders. Will he have some reasoned argument to demonstrate he's not a loose-arsed bugger

English (LSJ)

η, ον, Sup.,    A = νήατος (v. νέατος A), in form νήϊστα· ἔσχατα, κατώτατα, Hsch.: hence perh. the name of the πύλαι Νήϊσται at Thebes, πύλαισι Νηΐστῃσι (v.l. νηΐτῃσι [-τισι, -ταισι]) A.Th.460, cf. Stat. Theb.8.354; Νηΐταις πύλαις E.Ph.1104 codd. (νήϊϊ, ταῖς πύλαις Hsch.: perh. Νηΐτταις πύλαις with -ττ- from -στ-).

Greek Monolingual

νήϊστος και νήϊτ(τ)ος, -η, -ον (Α)
έσχατος, ακραίος, κατώτατος («πύλαισι Νηΐσταισι», Αισχύλ.).
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Η λ. νήϊστος, που εμφανίζεται στον τ. του θηλ. Νήϊσται «ονομασία μιας από τις πύλες της Θήβας», σχηματίστηκε πιθ. από τον τ. νήατος (νήαται), κατά το Ὕψισται, ονομ. μιας άλλης πύλης της Θήβας (για τον τ. νήατος βλ. λ. νέατος [Ι])].
