[Vocabulary] Bronze Butt

[jaleel2007]

Hi teachers & language lover

I have a problem, Please help me to understand the meaning of following phrase:

"One of the greatest ancient scholars, Didymus of Alexandria, earned the priceless nickname “Bronze Butt” for sitting long enough to write more than 3,000 books — of which zero survived."

Because butt have several meaning I want to know which one is the correct.
Sincerely

Oh, Jaleel. Which of these definitions makes sense here?

No, thast's not the case, maybe two or three of them make sense here. But I want to know your opinion.

 

[Rover_KE]

Only one of them has anything to do with 'sitting'.
