Βάδιλλος.
Notes:
Adler reports an identical entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
This word appears in a list of objects on a papyrus recovered at Oxyrhynchus, POxy.521.13, dating from the early second century CE. Βάδιλλος transliterates the Latin word batillus. LSJ s.v. (web address 1) translate it as 'shovel', which is its best-attested meaning (in e.g. Varro and the elder Pliny); but see also Lewis & Short s.v. batillum (sic: normally neuter) for Horace, Satires 1.5.36, where it means something like a chafing-dish or incense-pan.
