Meddix Tutĭcus

(also Medix, Maedix). “Community-manager.” The title of the chief magistrate in the Oscan and Sabellian towns in Italy. So we find the name used at Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Bovianum, and at Capua after the Samnites got possession of the city. The word meddix is probably cognate with μέδω, and tuticus with the Oscan tauta, tuta, “a town.” See Mommsen, Unterital. Dialekte, p. 278; Curtius, Gk. Etym. p. 225; and Mommsen, Hist. of Rome, i. p. 321 (Amer. ed.).
