Vegetius de Re Mil. 1, 11 clavas ligneas pro gladiis tironibus dabant, eoque modo exercebantur ad palos; Iuv. 6, 246. The palus is called stipes by Martial 7, 32. PILAM ... VENATIONES ...

In the thirteenth century it may be said that in theory the land of England belonged to the sovereign. The sovereign had indeed assigned large tracts of territory to A or B or C; but under certain circumstances, of no very unfrequent occurrence, these tracts of territory came back into the hands of the sovereign, and were re- granted by him at his will to whom he chose.
He returned it the next day with disgust; he had found it intolerably depressing. "A sculptor should model as Dante writes you 're right there," he said.

The marquis strode several times up and down the floor. "I 'll give you a thousand pounds for those letters," he said, suddenly stopping in front of Miss Horn. "They 're o' nae sic worth, my lord I hae yer ain word for 't. Pairt wi' them I will not, 'cep' to him 'at pruves himsel' the richtfu' heir to them." "A husband inherits from his wife."
