custom OF tho college OF Priests to
call the people together on the first
of the month to inform them of the
festivals and sacred days to be OBJ
served during the month. The Noncs
received their name from being the
ninth day before the ldrS. rcckoned

cause they divided tho month nearly
IN halves. The best known quotation
concerning the Idcs is that from,
