| Domain | Definitions |
Literature | Cist (Greek kist, Latin cista). A chest or box. Generally used as a coffer for the remains of the dead. The Greek and Roman cist was a deep cylindrical basket made of wickerwork, like a lady's work-basket. The basket into which voters cast their tablets was called a "cist;" but the mystic cist used in the rites of Ceres was latterly made of bronze. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
