a punishment inflicted at Athens upon adulterers. The manner of it was this: The hair was plucked off from the privities of the offender, hot ashes laid upon the place, and a radish or mullet thrust up his fundament, as has been mentioned under Adultery. To this Juvenal alludes, Sat. x. ver. 317. Quodam mechos et mugillis introit. Persons who had been thus punished were called ευραπανιδοι. The word raphanidosis is derived from ῥάφανος, a radish.
