Note 463 — JUVENAL'S SATIRES. (continued 2)
Lewis Evans translation
Sandapila. The bier or open coffin, on which the poor, or those killed in the amphitheatre, were carried to burial; hence "sandapila popularis." Suet., Domit., 17. Stepney (in Dryden's version) thus enumerates these worthies:
"Quacks, coffin-makers, fugitives, and sailors, Rooks, common soldiers, hangmen, thieves, and tailors."
