CONTABULA'TIO The long parallel folds in a loose garment, such as the toga, palla, pallium, &c., which hang down from the shoulders, and present the appearance of folding or lapping over one another, like a boarding of planks in a wooden building, as is plainly demonstrated by the lines at the back of the annexed figure (Contabulatio/1.1), from a fictile vase. Apul. Met. xi. p. 240. Compare Tertull. de Pall. 5. and CORRUGIS.
