| Context | Letter fragmentary, Fronto cites Cato Against Lepidus. |
| Comments | TLL: only attested here in Latin, a feminine form of magirus, itself hardly attested. Related to Greek μάγειρος. Patrick James: LSJ has μαγειρεία ‘= μαγείρευμα [‘food’], Cato ap.Fronton.p.223 N.(pl.), Hdn.Epim.19.’; the Haines and VdH text of Front points to *μαγ(ε)ίρᾱ ᾱς, though VdH notes a reading magirias (Ellis). |
