GRABA'TUS (κράβατος or κράββατος). A small low couch or bed of the commonest description (Cic. Div. ii. 63. Virg. Moret. 5.), such as was used by poor people, having a mere network of cords stretched over the frame (Lucil. Sat. vi. 13. Gerlach. Pet. Sat. 97. 4.), to support the mattrass, precisely as represented by the annexed engraving (Grabatus/1.1), from a terra-cotta lamp.
