Popa
(θύτης). The priest or attendant who at a sacrifice led the victim to the altar and there struck it a blow with a hammer or the back of an axe; whereas the person who slew it with a knife was called cultrarius (q. v.). The popa wore a short kilt, being otherwise unclothed ( Calig. 32). See sacrificium.
