CUCUR'BITA and CUCURBIT'ULA (κολοκύνθη, σικύα). A pumpkin, or gourd; thence, a cupping-glass, which the ancients made out of those fruits (Juv. Sat. xiv. 58.), as well as of horn or bronze. (Celsus, ii. 11.) The example (Cucurbita/1.1) represents an ancient original made out of a pumpkin, now preserved in the Vatican Library, and published by Rhodius.
