Nonius Marcellus: On the Propriety of Language

Pacuvius in Periboea:

Fear, poverty, grief, dotage, exile, and old age.

Velitatio skirmishing is called light contention, named from the gathering of the velites light-armed soldiers. Plautus in the Asinaria:
I wish the skirmishing with words to be made short.

The same in the Menaechmi:
I do not know what you two have been skirmishing about among yourselves.

Turpilius in Lindia:
Stop skirmishing with words, return to the matter.

Afranius in Privigna:
Meanwhile, to throw words about, and to skirmish with lips among themselves, to sail.

Caelius in Pausimacho:

Phrygiones Phrygians/embroiderers: Virgil proves this in the ninth book:
For you, a garment embroidered with saffron and gleaming purple.

Likewise in the same ninth:
O truly Phrygian; for you are not Phrygians.

Titinnius in Barbato: I was a Phrygian at first, and I knew that work well; I left the needles and threads to my master and our... Plautus in the Menaechmi:
He brings the cloak to the embroiderer after breakfast is finished.

Varro in Cosmotoryne, περὶ φθορᾶς κόσμου On the destruction of the world: The Phrygian who could embroider a cushion was painting a shoe.

Hostimentum a balancing/compensation is an equalization; whence also enemies (hostes) are so called, who enter battle from an equal cause. Plautus in the Asinaria:
An equal compensation has been given for equal; labor for money. Whence also hostire to compensate/to balance is said.

The same in the same:
Indeed I promise, I say, to compensate in return as you have deserved; that is, to return equal things.
