    From the Grecian torch-race (which consisted in keeping the torch burning during the race and handing it, still lighted, to the next one), are borrowed the expressions: lampada tradere alicui, to give or resign one's occupation to another:

    nunc cursu lampada tibi trado,

    now it is your turn, Varr. R. R. 3, 16, 9:

    quasi cursores, vitai lampada tradunt,

    i. e. they finish their course, die, Lucr. 2, 79:

    qui prior es, cur me in decursu lampada poscis?
