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.

mantĭca, ae, f. [manus], a bag for the hand, wallet, cloak-bag, portmanteau: mantica cui (mulo) lumbos onere ulceret, Hor. S. 1, 6, 104: umero exuere, to take off from the shoulder, App. M. 1, p. 110, 27.
Prov.: non videmus, manticae quid in tergo est, i. e. do not learn to know ourselves, Cat. 22, 21 (acc. to the fable, Phaedr. 4, 10, 1); cf.: ut nemo in sese temptat descendere, nemo, sed praecedenti spectatur mantica tergo, Pers. 4, 24 Gildersleeve ad loc.

mantĭcē, ēs, f., = Μαντική, the goddess of prescience: divinationem quam Graeci Μαντικὴν appellant, id est, praesensionem et scientiam rerum futurarum, Cic. Div. 1, 1, 1; cf. id. Leg. 2, 13, 32: Mantice Pronoës filia, Mart. Cap. 1, § 6.
