loculus

1 Near this a whole region of galleries has been brought to light with loculi intact.

2 When the loculi only are filled, the main channel of the colon is undisturbed.

3 Next to it is a square with six open loculi ranged from north to south.

4 The passages are lined with the usual loculi for the dead, sometimes adapted for a single body, sometimes for two laid together.

5 Accordingly, many abscess cavities resulting from deep-seated suppuration are of irregular shape, with pouches and loculi in various directions—an arrangement which interferes with their successful treatment by incision and drainage.

6 The symbol of a foot was carved on the marble slab that closed the loculus or tomb, to indicate that it was the purchased property of the person who reposed in it.

7 A short distance from the entrance, I came to a vestibule surrounded with loculi or rock-hewn graves.

8 Interment in the wall-recess or loculus, though infinitely the most common, was not the only mode employed in the catacombs.

9 Two loculi, excavated near the286 entrance outside the corridor, contained bodies of infants with magic circlets around their necks.

10 One cannot stand erect in its highest part, but it is to be considered that the loculi are two-thirds full of debris, composed chiefly of decayed bones and bits of glass.

11 Doric, the only sign of ornamentation found inside the tombs; a small break in the south-western wall connects it with the northernmost loculus of No. 2.

12 The sides of the galleries contain several rows of loculi, sometimes six or eight.

13 It had no loculi, but recesses in the wall to receive sarcophagi.

14 The Christians scattered the relics of the first occupants, knocked down their busts, built arcosolia in the three recesses of the Greek cross, and honeycombed with loculi the side walls of the corridor.

15 The seeds are immersed in pulp, and are attached irregularly to the wall, base and centre of the loculi.

16 It boasted ornately carved on the lintels around the entrance, inside were niches to house the dead called "loculi", each sealed with a portrait of the deceased, carved in limestone.

17 Evidently some places259 were more desirable than others, and if we remember how columbaria are built, it is not difficult to see which loculi must have been most in demand.

18 These loculi were usually constructed for a single body only.

19 The loculi here also are set endways to the passage.

20 The anthers are minute, with the two cells or loculi remarkably distinct; they contain very little pollen in comparison with those of the perfect flowers.
