IMMOLA'TUS. Accurately speaking, means sprinkled with flour (mola salsa), in reference to a victim intended for the sacrifice, this being one of the usual ceremonies before it was slain. (Cato ap. Serv. Aen. x. 541.); whence the word came to be used in the less special sense of our term immolated, or killed in sacrifice. Hor. Od. iv. 11. 7.
