Ἀλλ' ἡ τυραννὶς πολλά τ' ἄλλ' εὐδαιμονεῖ κἄξεστιν αὐτῇ δρᾶν λέγειν θ' ἃ βούλεται → But tyranny is a happy state in many ways, and the tyrant has the power to act and speak as they wish

Sophocles, Antigone, 506-507

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

nacca: (nacta, natta), ae, m., = νάκτης> (pure Lat. fullo),
I a fuller: naccae appellantur vulgo fullones, ut ait Curiatius, quod nauci non sint, i. e. nullius pretii. Idem sentit et Cincius. Quidam aiunt, quod omnia fere opera ex lanā nacae dicantur a Graecis, Paul. ex Fest. p. 166 Müll.; App. M. 9, p. 227, 22.
