RUDIC'ULA (κύκηθρον). Diminutive of RUDIS. A mull or wooden spoon (Columell. xii. 46. 3.), for beating up, stirring, or mixing together different ingredients, whilst boiling, stewing, or making decoctions. (Cato R. R. 95. 1. Plin. H. N. xxxiv. 54.) The example (Rudicula/1.1), from a picture of still life at Pompeii, exhibits a plate of eggs, together with the vessel and mull for beating them up.
