Headword: *(upotroxi/zesqai
Adler number: upsilon,618
Translated headword: to be broken on the wheel
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Not as we use the verb troxi/zesqai with the meaning of falling under a wheel and being injured, as the orators also used it, but they call troxi/zesqai to twist those being interrogated on the wheel, in order to confess what knowledge they share with others or what crimes they themselves have committed.
Greek Original:
*(upotroxi/zesqai: ou)x w(s h(mei=s u(popesei=n troxw=| kai\ trwqh=nai troxi/zesqai kalou=men, ou(/tw kai\ oi( r(h/tores au)tw=| e)xrh/santo, a)lla\ to\ streblou=sqai e)pi\ tou= troxou= tou\s e)cetazome/nous, i(/na katei/pwsin a(\ suni/sasin a)/llois h)\ peri\ w(=n au)toi\ h)di/khsan, troxi/zesqai le/gousin.
