who collected such derivations in book form, put
their names on the title page; and Gavius thought
himself a perfect genius when he identified <hi rend="italics">caelibes,</hi>
<quote>bachelors,</quote> with <hi rend="italics">caelites,</hi> <quote>gods,</quote> on the ground
that they are free from a heavy load of care, and
supported this opinion by a Greek analogy: for he
asserted that <foreign lang="greek">ἠΐθεοι</foreign> <quote>young men,</quote> had a precisely
similar origin. Modestus is not his inferior in
inventive power: for he asserts that <hi rend="italics">caelibes,</hi> that is
to say unmarried men, are so called because Saturn
cut off the genital organs of <hi rend="italics">Caelus.</hi> Aelius asserts
that <hi rend="italics">pituita,</hi> <quote>phlegm,</quote> is so called <hi rend="italics">quia petat uitam,</hi>
because it attacks life. </p></div1></body></text></TEI.2>
