Greek display:    

Headword: *)estukw/s
Adler number: epsilon,3237
Translated headword: erect, stiff, with an erection
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"A man with an erection is not at all high-minded."[1]
Greek Original:
*)estukw/s: ou)de\n me/ga fronei= e)stukw\s a)nh/r.
Notes:
The headword is perfect participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb stu/w (on which see generally J. Henderson, The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 112 #7). It is presumably extracted from the quotation given here, though there are also three instances in Aristophanes (Lysistrata 214 & 215, Thesmophoriazusae 158)
[1] Comica adespota fr.598 Kock (now 520 K.-A.). For a slightly different (and metrically superior) version see omicron 810.
