Exempla

“DĀVUS: Properā adeō puerum tollere hinc ab iānuā! / Māne, cavē quōquam ex istōc excessīs locō! / MȲSĪS: Dī tē ērādīcent! Ita mē miseram territās! DĀVUS: Hurry, then, to take the baby away from here, from the doorstep! (then, in a stage whisper) Wait, be careful – don’t actually leave that spot at all!”

MYSIS: May the gods blast you! You’ve got me so mixed up, I’m scared! (In this comic moment, poor Mysis feels exasperated by Davus and his silly scheme, but she means no actual harm to him. English idioms such as “Dammit!” or “Darn you!” don’t quite capture the comical flavor of “eradicent”, as if Mysis wishes the gods would pluck Davus from the stage.)
