MONE'RIS (μονήρης, μονόκροτος). A vessel which has only a single line of oars in file; a galley; as opposed to those which have two or more (Liv. xxiv. 33. Tac. Hist. v. 23. quae simplici ordine agebantur), as shown by the annexed example (Moneris/1.1), from the Vatican Virgil. Vessels of this class were sometimes of considerable size, and rated amongst the naves longae; in which several rowers worked upon the same oar, by means of a false handle attached to it, in the same way as was practised in the Mediterranean galleys of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, and explained at length s. REMEX.
