Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

1. myrīcē, ēs, or myrīca, ae, f., = μυρίκη, the tamarisk, a kind of shrub, Plin. 13, 21, 37, § 116; 24, 9, 41, § 67.
Prov., to signify something impossible: pinguia corticibus sudent electra myricae, Verg. E. 8, 54.
