[Footnote 20: From Delphi, the name of Delphicum was given,
both in Greek and Latin, to a tripod; and by an easy
analogy, the same appellation was extended at Rome,
Constantinople, and Carthage, to the royal banquetting room,
(Procopius, Vandal. l. i. c. 21. Ducange, Gloss, Graec. p.
277., ad Alexiad. p. 412.)]
