SERR'ULA (πριόνιον). Diminutive of SERRA. A small saw; such as employed by carpenters (wood-cut s. FABRICA), surgeons (Celsus, vii. 33.), woodsmen (Columell. Arb. vi. 4.), &c. The illustration (Serrula/1.1) represents an implement of this description, from a sepulchral bas-relief, of the class now called bow-saws by our mechanics.

2. Serrula manubriata. A small saw having the blade fastened into a short handle (manubrium) at one end, instead of being set in a frame, like the last two specimens. (Pallad. i. 43. 2.) The example (Serrula/2.1) is from a marble bas-relief, where it appears in the hands of Daedalus.
