112. #durum holus#: 'tough cabbage,' 'half boiled' (Pretor). --#populi#
(= _plebis_) #cribro#: 'A coarse, common sieve.' Hence _p. c. decussa
farina_, 'coarse-bolted flour,' the _panis secundus_ of Horace, Ep., 2,
1, 123, the 'seconds' of the modern miller. The ancients were very
dainty in this article. The parasite in Alciphron (1, 21, 2) expresses
his disgust at the +artos ho ex agoras+.
114. #putre quod haud deceat#: The Relative with the Subjunctive is
parallel with the Adjective. G., 439, R. Comp. 1, 14. _Haud deceat_, 'it
won't do,' 'it won't answer.' --#plebeia beta#: The beet is a vulgar
vegetable, Mart., 13, 13 (Jahn). The irony is evident, as the beet is
proverbially tender. See Dictionaries, s.v. _betizare_.
115. #excussit#: _Excutere aristas_ seems to be a vulgar expression,
like the English 'raise a goose-skin, goose-flesh, duck-flesh.'
--#aristas# = _pilos_. Jahn refers to Varro, L. L., 6, 49. --#timor
albus#: See note on Prol., 4.
116. #face supposita#: The heart is the caldron and passion the
fire-brand.
