" reosan," Gl. Mone, p. 321 b. ult. 

 Pissli is a contraction of Paxilli ; simi- 

 larly " Peysel, pieu, echalas" Roque- 

 fort. But, as we know from Cicero, 

 Paxillus was also contracted into Palus, 

 and these muscles were called Pala?, 

 like Pala, stipes, palus, in Du Cange. 

 " Rugge — bratun, pahe, sunt dorsi dex-

 where jisegeiieoj-an occurs, Lb. I. 

 Ixxi., Ixxxi. ; II. xxxi, " Pala;, 

 j;e]'culb)je," Gl. Somn. p. 71 a, 44, the

 dictionary to Cajlius Aurelianus, who 

 often uses the word, understands it.
