Translation

[Meaning] man in the diminutive.¹
"[They professed] to marvel at the Goths, if they shudder at some manikin eunuch, reared indoors and living softly, and far from manly in his behavior".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνδράριον· ὑποκοριστικῶς ἄνδρα. θαυμάζειν δὲ τοὺς Γότθους, εἰ πεφρίκασιν ἀνδράριόν τι θαλαμηπόλον, σκιατραφές τε καὶ ἁβροδίαιτον, καὶ πόρρω τοῦ ἀρρενωποῦ τεταγμένον.

Notes (1)

[1] The (neuter) headword, as this glossing shows, is the accusative case; it is perhaps, though not demonstrably, extracted from the quotation given. For the plural see under pi 358.
2Agathias, Histories 1.7 (p.30 Niebuhr). During the Gothic War (535-554 CE), Leutharis and Butilinus, two brothers about to lead an army of Franks and Alamanni against the Romans in 553 CE, are unable to reconcile the reputation of the Byzantine general Narses (cf. nu 42) with the Goths' evident fear of his military capabilities; cf. Frendo (16). On Butilinus, see PLRE IIIa s.v. Butilinus(1). On Leutharis, see PLRE IIIb s.v. Leutharis(1).
