billicus

BILLICUS
. Anastasius Biblioth. in Benedicto III. PP. pag. 205 : In Ecclesia B. Petri... ad cooperiendum Billicum Confessionis fecit cooperculum ex auro purissimo, pens. lib. 3. Ubi Bulengerus legendum putat umbilicum, ut fuerit illius thecæ, in qua S. Petri corpus reconditum erat umbilicus. Certe Billico, etiamnum Itali medium, seu centrum vocant, voce formata ex umbilicus. Ita Joan. Villaneus lib. 5. cap. 7. et lib. 7. cap. 36. Proinde Billicus idem erit quod centrum Ciborii, quemadmodum appellatur centrum cameræ, a Nicolao I. PP. Epist. 2. Conchæ altaris pars superior, uti observavimus ad Paulum Silentiarium pag. 573.
