What it meant

nundĭnālis — Lewis & Short

nundĭnālis, e, adj.nundinae,

I of or belonging to the nundinae: nundinalis cocus, a bad cook, employed only on marketdays, Plaut. Aul. 2, 4, 45; cf. id. Ps. 3, 2, 6, sqq. (or perhaps nundinalis stands for nundinarius, v. h. v., and nundinalis cocus is a market-cook, one who sets up a movable kitchen for the people who come to market. Wagner prefers the reading nundialis, and explains the phrase, a cook hired only for the silicernium, fit only to prepare a funeral feast; cf. Paul. ex Fest. p. 173 Müll.).
