Cp. the throwing the fetters of a criminal out by the
roof of the Flamen's house.

[159] _Gromat. vet._ i. 302, line 20 foll., describes
the chapels, but without mentioning the Lares. Varro
(_L.L._ vi. 25) supplies the name: "Compitalia dies
attributus Laribus Compitalibus; ideo ubi viae competunt
tum in competis sacrificatur." Cp. Wissowa, _R.K._ p.
148. But the nature of the land thus marked off is not
clear to me, nor explained (for primitive times) by
Wissowa in _Real-Encycl._, _s.vv._ "Compitum" and
"Compitalia."

Kalends, Nones and Ides, and to pray to the Lar
familiaris pro copia (at the compita?).

[163] The controversy about the Lar may be read in the
_Archiv fuer Religionswissenschaft_, 1904, p. 42 foll.
(Wissowa), and 1907, p. 368 foll. (Samter in reply). De
Marchi (_La Religione_, etc. i. 28 foll.) takes the same
view as Samter, who originally stated it in his
_Familienfesten_, p. 105 foll., in criticism of
Wissowa's view. See also a note by the author in the
_Archiv_, 1906, p. 529.
