    quove pede ingressi?

    Prop. 3 (4), 1, 6.—So the left foot was associated with bad omens; cf. Suet. Aug. 92 init.:

    i. e. before the wind, with the wind right aft, Ov. F. 3, 565:

    prolato pede, transversos captare Notos,

    id. Med. 322.— Hence, facere pedem, to veer out one sheet, to take advantage of a side wind, to haul the wind: una omnes fecere pedem;
