meretrix (复数 meretrices)

  1. 古罗马妓女
    • a. 100 公元, Petronius, 译者 W. C. Firebaugh, Satyricon[1], 出版于 1922:
      Nomus Marcellus has pointed out the difference between this class of prostitutes and the prostibula. "This is the difference between a meretrix (harlot) and a prostibula (common strumpet): a meretrix is of a more honorable station and calling; for meretrices are so named a merendo (from earning wages) because they plied their calling only by night; prostibulu because they stand before the stabulum (stall) for gain both by day and night."

    • 2013, Ariadne Staples, 源自Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins[2], Routledge, →ISBN:
      Of the two ritually important female categories, matrona and meretrix, it was the matrona that was held at a strict ritual distance. [] The domain of the meretrix was not held at a ritual distance. The boundary between male and female was not quite so stark when the female belonged to the category of prostitute.
