CA'SEUS (τυρός). Cheese (Varro, L. L. v. 108.); which the ancients made from the milk of cows, sheep, and goats (Varro, R. R. ii. 11.), and eat in a fresh state, like cream cheese, or dried and hardened. (Id. ib.) It was also pressed and made into ornamental shapes by boxwood moulds (Columell. vii. 8. 7.). Pliny (H. N. xi. 97.) enumerates the different places where the best cheeses were made.
