SCABRA
, Lancea, seu potius lanceæ cuspis. Gesta Tancredi apud Marten. tom. 3. Anecdot. col. 174 : Habebat autem ipse clam apud se cuspidis Arabicæ ferrum, de cujus inventione fortuita materiam fallendi sibi assumserat : Scabram quippe intuitus exæsam, annosam, usui nostro forma et quantitate dissimilem, auspicatus est illico hinc fidem novis figmentis adhæsuram. Cuspis scabra, exæsa, etc. Confer Virgil. Georg. lib. 1. vers. 494.
