During Paul's second imprisonment at Rome, Titus left him to visit Dalmatla (2 Tim. iv, 10), but for what purpose is not stated, unless we may conjecture that it was to regulate the afikirs of the Church in that region (Cellarii No^. i, 614 sq.), in the vicinity of which Paul had formerly preached (Rom. xv, 19). See Trrus.
At present Dalmatia is a crown-land of the Austrian emperor, the emperor bearing among his other titles that of king of Dalmatia. According to the last cen- sus of 1857, the population amounted to 404,499, most- ly Slavi. Of these, 887,800 were Roman Catholics, under the archbishop of Zara and five bishops (Sebeni- co, Spalato, Lesina, Ragusa, and Cattaro) ; 341 United

In the Greek Church it la called iJu/uiMij oi is covered with a multitude of small croasea.

The chasuble (q. ▼.) waa louMitiiw^ worn over the dalmatic. Ita aymbolical mraanic e thus explained by the ritualists : *'Tbe deaconli lo^ of white with purple stripes, with the right ilef^ plain and veiy full, but the left fringed or faasrfa' is the image of bountif ulness towards the poor, it * the robe given to deacons and snb-deacona, beeaei they were chosen by the apostles to serve the tabla, and a deacon should have a dalmatic with fantir sleeves than a sob-deacon, becanse he abonld ban i larger generosity, while a bishop ahould have one vid sleeves much broader and wider than the deacos's. because of the same reason in an ascending ratia. 1 dalmatic signifies an immaculate life aa well a* I0- pitality, and it has two stripes before and behad fr show that a bishop should exercise his dbarity t» alL both in prosperity and adversity.

Injury to limb, in the case of a free Israelite, es- tailed an equal infliction (Jus taUonisi) upon the saae part of the body of the aggreesor (Exod. -g^, 2$-3&: Lev. xxiv, 19 sq. ; Deut. xix, 21 ; comp. Matt, t, 8^: in the case of a slave it eflfSscted his tteedom (Exod. xxi, 26 sq. ; comp. Philo, 0pp. ii, 832). PecsnitfJ satisfaction, however, in the former case, was a v^ established custom (Josephus, ^11/. iv, 8, 85), so tbit retaliation was probably resorted to only in cases d intentional or malicioua injury (comp. £xod. xxfi.
