Note 86 — FIRST SECTION.
Reading edition
The Greeks used to make little figures of men with big genitals of wood, which they called Νευρόσπαστα (figures moved by strings, puppets). Lucian, De Syra Dea ch. 16. Herodotus, II. 48. Diodorus, I. 88.—Hesychius says: νάνος· ἐπὶ τῶν μικρῶν· ὡς νάνον καὶ αἰδοῖον ἔχοντα μέγα· οἱ γοῦν νάνοι μεγάλα ἔχουσιν αἰδοῖα, (dwarf: applied to the undersized; dwarf, but having large private parts. Dwarfs do have large private parts). Which reminds us of the unhappy “cretins” with monstrous generative organs, who are notoriously passionate Onanists (Masturbators) also.
