RŬDIS

[ Glad i a to res . ] s SACCUS ( σάκκος ) signified in general any kind of sack or bag made of hair, cloth, or other materials. We have only to notice here its meaning as—(1) A head-dre . [ Coma . ]—(2) A sieve for straining wine. [ Colum . ]—(3) A purse for holding money. Hence the phrase in Plautus ire ad saccum , “to go a begging.”
