Meaning
- to block (a wound)
tunc nōs in ancipitī perīculō constitūtī vel opprimendī nostrī vel deserendī sociī remedium ē rē nātā validum eō volente comminīscimus. antesignānī nostrī partem, quā manus umerum subit, ictū per articulum medium temperātō prōrsus abscīdimus, atque ibi brachiō relictō, multis laciniis offultō vulnere nē stīllae sanguinis vestīgium prōderent, ceterum Lamachum raptim reportāmus.
Now we found ourselves faced with two equally painful alternatives, to let ourselves be captured or to desert our comrade. On the spur of the moment we hit on a drastic solution: with one carefully directed blow we cut our leader’s arm right off at the elbow joint, and leaving the rest of it there we tied up the wound with a thick bandage so that there should be no trail of blood to show which way we went, and hurriedly made off with what remained of Lamachus.c. 125 CE – 180 CE, Apuleius, Metamorphoses 4.11
