- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 1.337-338:
- ante, deōs hominī quod conciliāre valēret,
fār erat et pūrī lūcida mīca salis- In days of old, it was plain spelt, and the sparkling grain of unadulterated salt that had efficacy to render the gods propitious to man.
1851. The Fasti &c of Ovid. Trans. & notes by H. T. Riley. London: H. G. Bohn. pp. 23-24.
- In days of old, it was plain spelt, and the sparkling grain of unadulterated salt that had efficacy to render the gods propitious to man.
- ante, deōs hominī quod conciliāre valēret,
- (figuratively) wit
- (poetic) brine, salt water, the sea
Usage notesEdit
- Sāl is occasionally found as a neuter noun in the singular. The gender is observable only from agreement in the nominative case, and from agreement and the use of sāl (neuter) vs. salem (masculine) in the accusative case. The neuter nominative and accusative singular form can alternatively be sale, e.g. in Ennius Ann. 385 and Varro d. Non. 223, 17. In the nominative and accusative plural, the word is found only in the masculine gender, with the form salēs.
