[edit]Etymology 1

Pronunciation

Noun
[edit]cēra f (genitive cērae); first declension
- wax, beeswax, honeycomb
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 3.747–748:
- audit in exēsa strīdōrem exāminis ulmō,
aspicit et cērās dissimulatque senex- [Silenus] hears the buzzing of a swarm in a hollowed-out elm tree,
and the old man can see the honeycombs, yet he dissimulates [pretends as if he has found nothing].
(Ovid's word play relates the ‘‘exesus’’ – the tree's ‘‘having been consumed’’ – with the ‘‘examen’’ or swarm, which Silenus mistakenly assumes are bees; instead, moments later when he looks inside the tree he is attacked by hornets.)
- [Silenus] hears the buzzing of a swarm in a hollowed-out elm tree,

- a wax seal
