ORCHESTOPOLA'RIUS (ὀρχέστοπόλος). A dancer in some particular style not ascertained, beyond the inference collected from the name, which seems to imply that his art consisted in spinning his body round and round with great rapidity, like a dancing dervish of the East; from ὀρχηστής, saltator, and πολέω, versor. Firm. Math. viii. 15.
