Note 832 — Chapter XXII · THE GYMNASIUM AND THE PALAESTRA
Reading edition
In inscriptions we find mention of a special room called ἀλειπτήριον, which is sometimes used as synonymous with palaestra or gymnasium, just as οἱ ἀλειφόμεινοι is equivalent to οἱ γυμναζόμενοι. Vide Hermes, vii. 42; C.I.G. 2782, l. 25; B.C.H. xii. p. 326.
