Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary/Pagina

From Wikiversity

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Rich, Anthony (1849). The illustrated companion to the Latin dictionary, and Greek lexicon. p. vi. OCLC 894670115. https://archive.org/details/illustratedcompa00rich. 

PA'GINA. Is either synonymous with scheda; that is, a sheet of paper composed of a number of strips of the inner bark of papyrus (philyrae), a number of which, when glued together, formed a book or roll (liber, volumen); or it signifies one of the written columns upon the sheet, as seen in the annexed example (Pagina/1.1); thus corresponding pretty nearly with our page, which seems the best interpretation. Plin. H. N. xiii. 24. Cic. Q. Fr. i. 2. 3.
