  Baetulus \B[ae]"tu*lus\, n.; pl. {B[ae]tuli}. [L., fr. Gr.
     bai`tylos a sacred meteorite.] (Antiq.)
     A meteorite, or similar rude stone artificially shaped, held
     sacred or worshiped as of divine origin.
     [1913 Webster]
  


           All the evidence goes to prove that these menhirs are
           b[ae]tuli, i. e., traditional and elementary images of
           the deity.                               --I. Gonino
                                                    (Perrot &
                                                    Chipiez).
     [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
