SCAPHIUM

SCA´PHIUM(σκάφιον), a shallow vessel without a handle, so called because it was shaped something like a boat (cf. CYMBIUMand the English sauce-boat), used as a drinking cup (Plaut. Stich. 4.5, 11; Bacch.. sometimes earthenware, sometimes metal; e. g. of brass (Lucret. 6.1045), of silver (Athen. 4. p. 142 d; Cic. Ver. 4.1. 7, 37). It was used also for dipping and pouring water over the body in the bath (Athen. 11. p. 501 e; Plaut. Pers. 1.3, 43). In Plut. Num. 9a brazen σκάφιον (or (σκαφεῖον) is used to relight the sacred fire [PRYTANEUMp. 514], being doubtless a primitive substitute for a concave mirror or burning-glass, and retained by religious conservatism.

Scaphium also=a matella of the same shape (Juven. 6.264, &c.). For the explanation of σκάφιον κείρεσθαι, see COMAVol. 1. p. 498 a.
