[Notes (5) and (6)]
[ii]
balneārium, -ī [2/n]: bathing-house
-ārium: the suffix is primarily used to denote either the purpose of a place or a place where things are kept:
liber (book) + -ārium > librārium, -ī [2/n]: bookcase; library
arma (weapons; tools) + -ārium > armārium, -ī [2/n]: cupboard
[iii]
apodytērium, -ī [2/n]: dressing-room, undressing room, the term used in Classical Latin for that section of the Roman bath house
sūdātōrium, -ī [2/n]: hot-air bath, sweating room; this is a rare word in CL although it is referred to by Seneca. The words used in Ancient Rome referring to the parts of a bath house are:
[1] caldārium, -ī [2/n]: from caldus, -a, -um, the caldarium was a room with hot water supplied, and with a hypocaust, an underfloor heating system.
[2] tepidārium, -ī [2/n]: From tepidus, -a, -um, this was the warm bathroom between the hot caldarium and the cold frigidarium with a lukewarm bath of water (labrum) lessening the shock of moving from one extreme temperature to the other.
[3] frīgidārium, -ī [2/n]: from frīgidus, -a, -um, the frigidarium contained a large pool of cold water for cooling off after the heat of the caldarium and tepidarium.

[iv]
alveus, -ī [2/m]: in the text, the word simply refers to a water trough; various additional meanings including any deep vessel, the hold of a ship and a riverbed. The term was also used in a derogatory way since it could refer to a trough for feeding pigs:
Etiam in alveō circumlāta sunt oxycomina, unde quīdam etiam improbē ternōs pugnōs sustulērunt (Petronius)
Pickled olives were also brought round in a dish, from where some voraciously took three fistfuls.
The author’s choice of alveus to describe the dish, combined with the guests’ greedy grabbing, implies that their behaviour is no different from that of pigs. Indeed, the English verb trough defines eating in a vulgar manner.
