alytarchae

ALYTARCHAE
, in leg. 2. Cod. Theod. de Equis curulib. (15, 9, 2 et 10, 1, 12) Qui ludis præerant, sic dicti, quod ludis, qui fiebant in honorem Deorum, τοῖς ἀλυταῖς, id est, μαστιγοφόροις præessent, ut censent Varinus Phavorinus, Cujacius, et Jacob. Gothofredus. Nam Rhabdoforos, seu mastigophoros ab Elæis ἀλύτας vocatos scribit Auctor Etymologici : at Petrus Faber lib. 1. Semestr. cap. 18. ab ἀλύειν, quod est lætari, exultari, ac præ gaudio dissolvi, deducit, quod utique in ludis usuveniebat, ita ut Alytarchæ fuerint quasi publicæ voluptatis arbitri, seu Tribuni voluptatum, uti etiam appellabantur, qui ejusmodi ludorum curam habebant.
