Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

Mĕlĭtensis, e, adj. [Melita], of or belonging to the isle of Malta, Melitan, Maltese: vestis, Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 72, § 176: rosa, id. ib. 2, 5, 11, § 27.
In plur. subst.: Mĕ-lĭtensia, ĭum (sc. vestimenta), Melitan garments, Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 74, § 183 (but in Lucr. 4, 1130, the correct read. is alidensia).
