MAIDA
. Capitul. Pipini Reg. Italiæ ann. 793. cap. 32 : De pravis illis hominibus qui brunaticos (brumaticos) colunt, et de hominibus suis subtus Maida cerias (cereos) incendunt, et votos vovent, etc. Anglo-Sax. Mæden, Anglis Maid, Germ. Magd, est puella, virgo ; sed hæc quid ad rem ? An idem Maida quod mox Maidanum ? hæc quippe erat veterum Gallorum superstitio, ut in biviis et compitis hominum membra ex lino vel cera conflata ponerent, quibus fortean cereos accendebant. Vide Pes et Ceria.
