EPIRHE'DIUM. A hybrid word, composed from the Greek preposition ἐπὶ and the gallic term Rheda; the true meaning of which is not settled. Scheffer and Ginzrot believe it to have been a square or oblong cart, enclosed with four sides, in the same manner as the rheda, and consequently to be represented by the annexed figure (Epirhedium/1.1), from a bas-relief in the Museum at Verona. Others consider that the word has reference only to the ornamental decorations of a rheda, or that it designates the harness of the horses which drew it. Juv. Sat. viii. 66. Schol. Vet. ad l. Scheffer, R. V. ii. 23. Ginzrot, Wagen und Fahrwerke, xviii.
