SARRI'TIO or SARI'TIO. The act of hoeing out weeds from young plants and crops. (Columell. ii. 11. 4. Plin. H. N. xviii. 50.) It was performed with the sarculum; but differs from sarculatio, which expresses the hoeing up of earth to the plant; and from runcatio, which expresses the weeding and thinning with the hand and the instrument termed runco.
