COTULA, or Cotyla, a liquid measure in use among the ancients.
Fannius says, the cotyla was the same thing with the hemina, which was half a sextary.
At cotylas, quas si placent, dixisti licet
Heminas, recipit gemmas interioris vasis.
Chorier observes, that the cotyla was used as a dry measure as well as a liquid one; from the authority of Thueydides, who in one place mentions two cotylæ of wine, and in another two cotylæ of bread.
