CUBITAL' (ὑπαγκώνιον). A bolster or cushion for the elbow to rest upon, when the figure is otherwise in a recumbent position, such as was used for the convenience of invalids (Hor. Sat. ii. 3. 255.), or by persons when reclining at their meals (see ACCUBO). The illustration (Cubital/1.1) is from a figure on the top of an Etruscan tomb.
