CESTICILLUS
CESTICILLUS a porter's knot, pad for carrying burdens, is
known to us only through the gloss in Festus (s. v.). The Greek word is
τύλη (Aristot. ap.
D. L. 9.53, where it is said to have been invented by
Protagoras), or
στεῖρα, from its being
twisted into a circular shape (
Apollod. 2.5,
11 § 14). For an illustration, see
ARCULUM
