  Nonius Marcellus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nonius Marcellus, Latin grammarian and lexicographer, lived at the end of the 3rd or the beginning of the 4th century AD.
Nonius is especially indebted to Verrius Flaccus and Aulus Gellius.
It is remarkable that in the quotations from the authors cited Nonius always follows the same order, beginning with Plautus and ending with Varro and Cato.

 Vernier scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was invented in its modern form in 1631 by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier (1580–1637).
In some languages, this device is called a nonius, which is the Latin name of the Portuguese astronomer and mathematician Pedro Nunes (1492–1578) who invented the principle.
Another theory is that this name is from the Latin "nona" meaning "9" and therefore "nonius" means a "ninth" of the main scale.

 revue HEL - RESUMES 27/1
Toutefois, un auteur technique, Nonius Marcellus, pratique un système occasionnel qui témoigne peut-être d’une réflexion sur la question du genre et du nombre de l’autonyme en latin.
The article examines some of the forms of statement, frequent in Latin, that make it possible to overcome this logical and syntactical problem.
However, one technical author, Nonius Marcellus, on occasion resorts to a system that seems to suggest reflexion on the question of the gender and number of the autonymic word in Latin.

 Orbitum
However, upon consultation with Aulus, I am told that Lewis and Short have "orbitus, -a, -um" as an adjective used in late classical and post classical Latin, meaning circular.
They cite the usage in Nonius Marcellus, a grammarian of around 280 AD.
With regard to the phrase "per aspera ad orbitum" it is possible that somebody thought "orbita" (f.

 Pontifex Maximus - Enpsychlopedia
The most recent general study of the pontifical college (Van Haeperen 2002), omits the earliest periods of Roman history, as too little is known.
The major Roman source, Varro's book on the pontiffs, is lost: only a little of it survives in Aulus Gellius and Nonius Marcellus.
More information is to be found in remarks by Cicero, Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Valerius Maximus, in Plutarch's vita of Numa Pompilius, Festus' summaries of Verrius Flaccus, and in later writers.
