Ἀποτεθρίακεν

Meaning [he/she/it] plucked, made smooth. But properly [it means he/she/it] pruned fig-trees; for thria ["fig-leaves"] are the leaves of the fig-tree. Aristophanes [writes]: "which of the Odomanti has unpetalled his prick?"¹ The Odomanti [are] a Thracian people. The Thracians used to pluck and smooth their genitals and had them circumcised. They say that [the Thracians] are Jews.
Also [sc. attested is the participle] a)poteqruwme/noi ["they having gone to pieces"], [meaning they] having gone savage. This is said in a metaphor from rushes, tethrua, which are wild and sterile plants.²
