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

Greek Monolingual

ἀφία, η (Α)
το φυτό αφία η μεγανθής, ζοχαδόχορτο.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Άγνωστης ετυμολ. Η σύνδεση του Θεοφράστου με το αφιέναι (το άνθος) του αφίημι «εκφύω, παράγω, βγάζω (για φυτά)» οφείλεται μάλλον σε παρετυμολογία παρά την προσπάθεια να δικαιολογηθεί σημασιολογικά. Πρόκειται μάλλον για δάνεια λ. που υποστηρίχθηκε ότι συνδέεται με λατ. apium «σέλινο» και με ιλλυρ. ap- «νερό»].

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: lesser celandine, Ranunculus ficaria (Thphr. HP 7, 7, 3).
Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The connection with ἀφιέναι (τὸ ἄνθος) in Thphr. is defended by Thiselton-Dyer, Journ. of Phil. 33, 206f.; doubtdul. Rather a loan. Krahe, Spr. Illyrier 44, connects Lat. apium parsley (further to *ap- water). Fur. 167 objects that these are quite different plants. He himself (330, with parallels for the -ρ-) proposes to compare ἄφρισσα id. (Apul. Herb. 15). Improbable vW.

Grammar: f.
Meaning: Feigwurz, Ranunculus ficaria (Thphr. HP 7, 7, 3).
Etymology: Unerklärt. Die volksetymokogische Anknüpfung an ἀφιέναι (τὸ ἄνθος) bei Thphr. sucht Thiselton-Dyer JournofPhil. 33, 206f. mit zweifelhaftem Erfolg semantisch zu begründen. Eher LW.
