divolares

DIVOLARES
, διώβολοι. Gloss. Lat. Græc. Lege Diobolares, vel Diovolares, B. in V. mutato, ut alibi sæpe. Similiter in sequenti voce pro
Divoltres
, legendum est Diobolares, hoc est, Duorum obolorum, a Græco διώβολον, Duo oboli. Hinc ridiculum emendato etymon Johannis de Janua, qui habet : Divoltres, Vilissimæ meretrices, quæ se suaque gratia numorum præbent, et dicuntur Divoltres, quasi desiderio volentes, vel quasi pro numo volutæ. Ad quæ Martinius : Mira vox ! Sed non tam homines accusandi, quam sæculi deploranda caligo.
