Note 1435 — MENSIS FEBRUARIUS

So C. I. L. 6. 1933 ‘lupercus Quinctialis vetus.’ See Mommsen, Forsch. i. 117. Unger, however (p. 56 foll.), argues for the form Quintilianus, as it appears in Fest. 87, and Ovid, Fasti, 2. 378; and also denies that the names indicate gentile priesthoods. But his arguments depend on a doubtful etymology. See Marq. 440, note.
