Quote:How about armilla?armillae, quae bracchialia vocantur? :wink:
Edit: Explanation probably required. This is Priscian's gloss on armillae, from his treatise On the Twelve Main Verses of the Aeneid, where he wrestles with the word arma (as in, "Of arms and the man, I sing, ...") and its derivatives. Needless to say, he derives armilla from arma.
