MOLA Salfa (Salt Cake), in antiquity, was barley parched, and afterwards ground to meal or flour, then mixed with salt and frankincense, with the addition of a little water. Thus prepared, it was sprinkled between the horns of the victim before it was killed in sacrifice. This act was called immolatio, and was common to the Greeks as well as Romans; with this difference, that the mola of the Romans was of wheat. The Greeks called it ἀλάς or ἀλάσιν.
