ALIMENTA,

an Allowance of Meat given to a single person to live on for a Year or a Month. The Romans did often in their Wills, give a certain Sum to serve for an Al∣lowance of Meat to their Children. In pueros, puellasque singulas damnas esto dare cibarii nomine aureos decem. They also extended this Libe∣rality to their Free-Men, as we learn from the Lawyer Scavola: Quisquis mihi haeres erit, omni∣bus libertis meis, quos hoc testamento manu misi, alimentorum nomine in menses singulos certam pecu∣niam dato. i. e. I charge him that is mine Heir, to give monthly a certain Sum for an Allow∣ance of Meat, to all my Free-Men, to whom I have given Liberty by this my Will.

They practis'd also the same thing towards those whom they called Alumnos and Alumnas, as these words in the Law do testifie; Mevio infanti alumno meo quadringinta dari volo, quae pe∣to à te suscipias, & usuras ei quincunces in annum usque vicesimum aetatis praestes, eumque suscipias, ac tuearis.
