Note 16 — A Relation of a Voyage from Aleppo to Palmyra in Syria; sent by the Reverend Mr. William Hallifax to Dr. Edward Bernard (late) Savilian Professor of Astronomy in Oxford, and by him communicated to Dr. Thomas Smith. Reg. Soc. S.

Plin. Secun. Ep. l. 2. Tells us of one, who was accused of an Illegal Exaction of Money from a Province, Titulo Unguentarii; now what was in that case unjustly exacted, might be in this a Voluntary Donation, not of the Province to the Governour, but of a great Man to the People. Or else Unguentarium may be supposed to be a Donative, like Clavarium or Culinarium, used sometimes by the Romans.
