PACKAGE, is a small duty of one penny in the pound, Pacos pound, paid for all goods not particularly rated. Paderborn. PACOS, in zoology. See CAMELUS. PACUVIUS (Marcus), of Brundusium in Calabria, a tragic poet in high reputation about the year of Rome 600. He was nephew of Ennius; published several theatrical pieces, tho' we have only some fragments of his poetry remaining; and died at Tarentum at above 90 years of age. PADANARAM (Bible), literally the plains of Aram, or Syria; translated by the Seventy, simply Mesopotamia, or Mesopotamia, of Syria; by the Vulgate, Syria; the Syrians on this and on the other side of the Euphrates, not differing remarkably from each other in language and manners, as Josephus allows.
