Note 82 — GREECE BEYOND PELOPONNESUS. (continued 4)

“Thus we find mention of a Roman Church S. Agnolo in Pescivendolo in an ancient chronicle [in the Beschreib. der Stadt Rom, iii. 3, p. 468, this is referred to the history of Cola di Rienzi, which was formerly ascribed to Fortefiocca], and that church is now called S. Angelo in Pescaria; there must have been a fish-market in the neighbourhood. Piscivendulus is unquestionably an ancient Latin word, in which the termination ulus is purely an adjective termination without the meaning of a diminutive, as we sometimes find in Plautus.” [One otherwise very good MS. here has the word nuculendulus, for which I am unable to restore the correct word, unless nucifrangibula (Plaut. Bacch. iv. 2, 16) be meant].
