Martin's two ancient sources for peribolaion meaning testicle: Achilles Tatius and Euripides
Mike examines Martin's evidence for the word meaning.
Source 1 (Achilles Tatius): Garden poetry where Martin claims 'leaves' (peribolai) refers to testicles and 'flowers' (paroiai) to female hair. Goodacre's response: there's no one-to-one correspondence between garden elements and body parts. The full passage has 20+ garden elements (meadow, wall, portico, birds, peacocks, etc.). Martin seems to have used his own translation without disclosing this. Martin apparently abandoned this evidence in his response paper.
