MOLI'LE. The name given to a part of the apparatus used for turning a mill, both in those which were driven by men and by cattle. Varro, R. R. x. and xi. In the former passage, it probably means the handles inserted into the sides of the upper stone (wood-cut s. MOLA, 1.); in the latter, the frame over the animal's back, to which he was attached when harnessed to his work (wood-cut s. MOLA, 2.).
