SE'MITA. An narrow pathway (Varro, L. L. v. 35.); as a foot-path in the country (Liv. xliv. 43. Suet. Nero, 48.); or a narrow lane in a town, as opposed to via, a broad street. (Cic. Agr. ii. 35. Mart. vii. 61.) Hence the term is used specially in the same sense as CREPIDO, the trottoir for foot passengers on either side of the carriage road (agger). Plaut. Trin. ii. 4. 80. Id. Curc. ii. 3. 8.
