Pithaules / Pithaulos (m)

bagpipe term also used for other aerophones

Pythaulēs

From Hadrianus Junius (Hadriano Ivnio), »Nomenclator omnium rerum propria nomina variis linguis explicata indicans ...« (Antverpiæ, MDLXXVII [i.e. in Antwerp, 1577]), p.348 (»Suet. [i.e. Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus; ws]); NB: Kiliaan refers to this spelling, apparently as a synonym of Sack-pijper [sic], but doesn't mention it as a separate entry; In Johannes Simonis Wolimhaus, »Syllabus …« (1649), p.715, it is erroneously spelt "pithaulos" and translated as "säckepipare" [piper].
