schooling
Instruction, doctrina: eruditio.
Money paid for instruction at a school, praeceptoris, or magistri, merces; pretium operas quod praeceptori, or magistro, solvitur; simply merces (from the context; Vid: Cic., Phil., 2, 4, 9; Acad., 2, 30, extr.); so also pretium (Vid: Suet., Gramm., 3). In epistolary style the Greek δίδακτρον may be used; but ☞ not minerval or minervale, which = a present brought by the scholars to the master on entrance; as we say, entrance money).
