    DefinitionShort: pertaining to being physically weak
    Glosses: weak
    Comments: Such a literal translation of this expression in {S:06000300700016}, however, may be misleading, for in general τῷ γυναικείῳ is interpreted as a reference to one’s wife. Therefore, one may translate as ‘treating with respect one’s wife as the physically weaker partner’ or ‘… as of the weaker sex.’
