Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary/Craticula

From Wikiversity

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Rich, Anthony (1849). The illustrated companion to the Latin dictionary, and Greek lexicon. p. vi. OCLC 894670115. https://archive.org/details/illustratedcompa00rich. 

CRATI'CULA (ταῤῥίον). Diminutive of CRATES; whence, in a more special sense, a gridiron (Cato, R. R. 13. 2. Mart. Ep. xiv. 221.) The example (Craticula/1.1) is taken from an original of bronze found in a tomb at Paestum, but without the handle, which is restored in the engraving, from a similar specimen painted in a sepulchre of the Christian era on the Via Tiburtina.
