CARPAEA
Graece Καρπαῖα, saltatio, quam Aeneianes et Magnetes armati solebant saltare. Argumentum tale: Quidam positis armis arat et serit, crebro respectans metuentis modô. Supervenit latro, quô visô raptim resumptis armis pugnat, pro bubus; idque in numerum et ad tibiam. Latro aratore victô vinctôque boves abigit. Interdum latronem arator vincit. Vide Xenophontem, ubi de convivio Seuthae Thracis et Scaligerum, Poetices l. 1. c. 18.
