Out of the Victim's Skin, it was customary to make a Bottle, which being fill'd with Oyl and Wine, they endeavour'd to leap upon it with one Foot, and He that first fix'd himself upon it, was declar'd Victor, and receiv'd the Bottle as a Reward. The Doing this they call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. from Leaping upon a Bottle; whence this Festival hath it's Name.
