CUBI'LE (κοίτη). In general, any place to lie down in, as a bed, or the room in which the bed is: whence more especially used to designate the marriage-bed (Virg. Aen. viii. 412. Eur. Med. 151.); a sleeping-room (Cic. Cat. iv. 8. Suet. Nero, 25.); and, indeed, like cubitorium, any one of the small apartments in a private house usually occupied by the master or his family. Plin. H. N. xv. 10. salutatorium; Plin. Paneg. 63. 3.
