FER'ETRUM and FERET'RUM (φέρετρον). Strictly speaking, a Greek word, which the Romans expressed by capulus (Serv. ad Virg. Aen. vi. 222.); the bier, on which a dead body was carried to the grave, or to the funeral pile (Virg. Aen. vi. 222. Ov. Met. iii. 508.), represented by the illustration (Feretrum/1.1), from a marble tomb at Rome.

2. Same as FERCULUM, 2. Sil. Ital. x. 566. Id. xvii. 630.
