quivered

quivered (adj.):

I. Equipped with a quiver: phăretrātus: the q.'d Scythians, (visam) pharetratos Gelonos, Hor. Od. 3, 4, 35: cf. pharetrata Camilla, Virg. Aen. 11, 649.

II. Sheathed as in a quiver: ("From him whose pens stand q.'d in his ear," Pope): *pharetratus (used humorously), either agreeing with pennae (but no precedent for this), or, perh. better, *in aure pharetratâ (or *post aurem pharetratam).
