Translation
[Male] and masculinely and half-man [hêmiandros] and half-woman [hêmigunaix] and double-sexed [digenês] and effeminate [thêludrias] and hermaphrodite and eunuch [ithris], whose vigor has been cut off; also [sc. attested is] male-looking [arrenôpos], [meaning] one who is androgynous, and one who is manly, one who is firm.1 They call thus those who in other respects are female but have something of a man's form. But Hipponax [sc. uses the term] half-man, which implies half-woman.2 Other words are apokopos ["castrated"], and bakêlos ["womanish, eunuch"], and androgunos ["androgyne"], and gallos,3 and gunnis ["womanish"], and Attis,4 and eunuch-like [eunouchôdês].
