Note 800 — MENSIS SEXTILIS.
Reading edition
Paulus, 23; Quintil. 1. 7. 12; Varro, L. L. 5. 52 (from the ‘sacra Argeorum’), if we read ‘adversum Solis pulvinar cis aedem Salutis.’ The name is said to be connected with the Umbrian and Etruscan god of light, Usil, a word thought to be recognizable in Aurelius (= Auselius, Varro, l. c.), and in the Ozeul of the Salian hymn (Wordsworth, Fragments and Specimens of Early Latin, p. 564 foll.).
