THALAME'GUS (θαλαμεγός). A state barge used by the kings of Egypt upon the Nile. (Suet. Caes. 52.) It was fitted up with great splendour, containing all the requisites for a party of pleasure, and cabins (thalami) for a numerous suite, from which it received the above name, as well as the Latin paraphrase, navis cubiculata (Senec. Ben. vii. 70.).
