assythment

en-noun

assythment (countable and uncountable, plural assythments)

assythments (plural)
assythement (alternative)
assithment (alternative)

/əˈsʌɪðmənt/

From assyth + -ment, from Old French aset, asez, originally meaning "enough". See assets.

It may be observed that assythment is not due to the next of kin of a person slain where the offender hath by the exertion of public justice suffered the punishment due to his crime; but whether it can be demanded from the king's donatary where the criminal hath fled from justice and forfeited his movable estate upon a sentence of fugitation, may be doubted.

1871, John Erskine, An Institute of the Law of Scotland, volume 2, page 1235:

I, Fergus and my Heirs and Assignies, against all deadly the foresaid Three Daughs, and the forenamed Land of Ardendraught, with their pertinents, liberties and assythments and other privileges as aforesaid.

1894 February 5, Scottish Notes and Queries, volume 7, page 140:

Although there is no precise statistical analysis of assythments, bonds of manrent were only very rarely used in such circumstances.

2003, Christine Peters, Women in Early Modern Britain, 1450-1640, page 25:

(Scots law, historical) Compensation or reparation for a criminal offence.

tauroctony

From Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ταυροκτόνος (tauroktónos), from ταῦρος (taûros, “bull”) + κτόνος (któnos, “killing”).

lbor

In any event, if, as I am arguing, the tauroctony represents the astronomical situation which obtained during the epoch in which the spring equinox was in Taurus, the fact that the summer solstice was in Leo during that epoch provides a convincing explanation for the occasional presence of the figure of a lion in the tauroctony.

1991, David Ulansey, The Origins of the Mithraic Mysteries, Oxford University Press, page 54:

The central icon, ever present in Mithras temples throughout the Roman Empire, is the tauroctony, or bull-slaying.

2005, Payam Nabarz, The Mysteries of Mithras, Inner Traditions, page 20:

Tauroctonies featuring Mithras' regular clothes but with a crown instead of a cap would belong to a further cluster. A tauroctony would then also be assigned to other clusters for its patterns of features relating to the torchbearers, to the animals, and so on.

2022, Kevin Stoba, “6: A network analysis of the Mithraic tauroctony”, in Anna Collar, editor, Networks and the Spread of Ideas in the Past, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), unnumbered page:

(Mithraism, historical, art) A depiction (typically in relief or sculpture) of Mithras killing a bull; associated with the practice of Mithraism (as a cult) in the Roman Empire.

Such a secular year therefore was probably the term assigned to the life of the gods, as the natural secle was to the life of man, the secular day to that of nations, the secular week to that of one human race. They taught, as we know historically, that the expiration of each secular day was announced by wonders and signs, intelligible to them. So was the close of every natural secle; ten of which, of unequal length, made up a great day. The signs by which each of these epochs had been foreshewn, were recorded in their history .

1847, Barthold Georg Niebuhr, Leonhard Schmitz, The History of Rome - Volume 1, page 138:
