URCEUS. A vessel with handles (Mart. xiv. 106.), generally made of earthenware (Hor. A. P. 21. Mart. l. c.), and chiefly used as a ewer for filling other vessels with water. (Varro ap. Non. s. TRULLEUM, p. 547. Paul. Dig. 33. 7. 18.) It is probably allied to ὕρχα and Orcha; but there are no sufficient data by which to determine its precise form.
