| Flagging | "commutandam censuit vocem et pro peregrina nostratem requirendam" (flagged by Tiberius: explanation of flagging comes after the word is employed) |
| Syntactic/Grammatical Info | |
| Context | Tiberius objects to the use of this word in a decree; demands that it be replaced by a native word ("pro peregrina nostratem requirendam"); if a single word cannot be found, Tiberius desires that it be expressed by several words/periphrasis |
| Comments | Rolfe 1998a: 411: "There is no exact equivalent in Latin, but Cicero twice uses the transliterated form emblema (In Verr.4.49)". NB ἔμβλημα also appears in the same context in Dio. 57. 15.2. |
