Tum deinde gestari jubentur mappulæ, scyphi, bacini, candelabra, et Manticæ suffarcinatæ, non stramentis sed ornamentis lectulorum.
Contigit eum(Geraudum) ad moniales Fontis Ebraldi prædicationis gratia declinare, ingressusque Capitulum vidit in mulieribus illis Deo et Angelis abominabile monstrum ; nam crinium suorum tortura et circumdatura more meretricio phaleras et Manticas prætendebat posterius, cornua anterius.

MA´NTICA(πήρα, θύλακος), properly a hand-bag, a wallet or travelling bag, in which a few necessaries could be carried. It was carried in the hand or slung over the shoulder (Appul. Met. 1.60; Catull. 22, 21; Pers. 4, 24), or strapped on behind the saddle of the horse, mantica cui lumbos onere ulceret (Hor. Sat. 1.6, 106). The later word averta was a larger sort of saddle-bag, usually of leather. Either would suffice to carry, besides provisions, whatever change of clothes the poorer traveller needed. The rich entrusted their luggage to the attendant slaves, who packed it up in bundles. Thus the Greek στρώματα (Arist. Av. 616; Ran. 12), carried on a journey by the slave, means a roll of clothes as well as bedding; and these were also more methodically packed in a στρωματόδεσμος, or large bag. (Plat. Theaet. p. 175 E; Aesch. Fals. Leg. § 99; Poll. 7.79; Rutherford, New Phryn. p. 487.)
[G.E.M](πήρα, θύλακος). A wallet, satchel, or travelling-bag carried by hand, or slung over the shoulder, or strapped on behind the saddle of a horse (Hor. Sat. i. 6, 106). A larger kind of bag was called averta (Cod. Theod. viii. 5, 47).
