SEDENTARY
sedentarius (e.g. opera sedentaria Cic. (?) ap. Col.): sellularius (of a mechanic whose work is done in a sitting posture; Cic. Liv.: sedentaria ars Apul.). To lead a sedentary life *vitam sedentariam (not vitam domisedam) agere; domi (desidem) sedere. ☞ Domiseda is the epithet of a woman who stays at home; Orell. Inscript. 4639. For a person of sedentary habits Krebs recommends reconditus but this is “reserved”: umbraticus (homo; opposed to reges; Plaut. Curc. 4 3 24) is one who stays at home avoiding public life and public duties: qui in totum aut certe plurirnum domi moratur (Cic. ap. Col. but this may include the idea of activity and movement in the house): *qui inter parietes libenter se coniinet
