Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

Valerius Maximus, De Factis Dictisque

Greek Monolingual

εὐνουχίας, ὁ (Α) ευνούχος
1. αυτός που μοιάζει με ευνούχο, ο ανίκανος για συνουσία («ἄγονοι γίγνονται καὶ γυναῖκες καὶ ἄνδρες
ὥστε τὰς μὲν μὴ ἡβᾱν, τοὺς δὲ μὴ γενειᾱν ἀλλ' εὐνουχίας διατελεῖν ὄντας», Αριστοτ.)
2. μτφ. είδος πεπονιού χωρίς σπόρους
3. φρ. «εὐνουχίαι κάλαμοι» — καλάμια χωρίς θύσανο
