Triches grece capilli inde trichiasis.


Translation:

Triches is Greek for hair, hence trichiasis {see below}.


Commentary:

This entry refers to the Greek word τρίχες /tríkhes/, the plural of θρίξ /thríx/ {"hair"}. The term τριχίασις /trikhíasis/ is still in use today: Trichiasis, eyelashes that are turned inwards.
