PTERO'TUS (πτερωτός). Properly a Greek word, meaning winged, but employed as a characteristic epithet, for the drinking-cup, termed calix, because it was furnished with handles on each side, like wings, as exhibited by the illustration (Pterotus/1.1) representing an original calix of Greek manufacture. Plin. H. N. xxxv. 66.
