A New Law Dictionary and Glossary

Lat. [from 0. Lat. caiare, to call or convoke.] Comitia convened for certain religious purposes, and at which testaments were usually made. Aul. Gell, XV. 27» The term is usually applied to the comitia curiata, but Gellius applies it to the comitia centuriata also; the only distinction being that the former were called by a lictor, the latter by a comicen, or trumpeter. Id, ibid.
