  • 4 turba

    turba, ae, f. [= turbê; cf. Sanscr. turāmi, to hasten; turas, hasty; Lat. turma], a turmoil, hubbub, uproar, disorder, tumult, commotion, disturbance, of a crowd of people (syn. tumultus): praetor ait: cujus dolo malo in turbā damnum quod factum esse dicetur... Turbam appellatam Labeo ait ex genere tumultūs, idque verbum ex Graeco tractum apo tou thorubein. Turbam autem ex quo numero admittimus? Si duo rixam commiserint, utique non accipiemus in turbā id factum, quia duo turba non proprie dicentur. Enimvero si plures fuerint, decem aut quindecim homines, turba dicentur. Quid ergo, si tres aut quattuor? Turba utique non erit. Et rectissime Labeo inter turbam et rixam multum interesse ait;
