a Roman divinity whose office it was to watch over children before they could walk and to give them the ability to stand. Sacrifices were offered to him when a child began to stand or run alone (Augustine, De Civ. Dei, 4, 21; Tertull. De Anima, 39; Varro, Ap. Non. p. 528). See Smith, Dict. of Biog. and Mythol. s.v.; Vollmer, W rterb. p. d. Mythol. s.v.
