Its only use mentioned in dictionaries is in Latin, in the Life of Nero by Suetonius, where it seems to refer to a rope for tightrope walker. It turns out that the word is also attested in Syriac, also in the context of games, in historiographical texts (<i>Chronicle of the Pseudo-Diocles</i> and <i>Chronicle of Malalas</i>) and with a different meaning in the <i>Cave of Treasures</i>, about the expulsion of Adam and Eve from paradise.
