DIO'TA (δίωτα). A Greek word, meaning literally with two ears; and thence employed both in the Greek and Latin languages, as a general term for any vessel which is furnished with two handles, like the amphora, lagena, &c.; especially such as were intended for the preservation of wine in store (Hor. Od. i. 9. 8.), to which purpose the original depicted in the annexed engraving (Diota/1.1) was applied; for it is carried by a Faun, attending upon Bacchus, on a fictile vase of the Neapolitan Museum.
