B.G. 1 4); sometimes from the context rogus (funeral pile). To die at the stake igni necari; flammis circumventum exanimari (voluntarily). The condemned must die at the stake damnatum paenam sequi oportet ut igni cremetur.
Anything laid down at play pignus. Anything is at stake agitur aliquid (e.g. caput one’s life is at stake; rarely in this sense agitur de aliqua re which = “anything is treated of; ”☞ Cortte Sall.
