WHIP
s. flagellum (Cic.): flagrum (Liv. of single thongs; if these were armed with iron points it became scorpio): scutica: lora plur. (scourge; of thongs interwoven; hence nearer to our “whips.” Horace’s ut scutica dignum horribili sectere flagello makes the scutica lighter than the flagellum): lorum (not so heavy as lord plur.): to crack a whip insonare flagello (Verg. Aen. 5 679). ☞ The Romans seem to have used a “cane” (virga qua aliquis ad regendum equum utitur Cic.) rather than a whip for riding; but Vid: the passage in Vergil above quoted; and flagellum was also used for oxen Col. 2 2 26.
