• călo (as a very ancient word, with its derivatives also written kălo; v. the letter K), āre, v. a. [cf. Gr. καλῶ; Engl. call], to call, call out, proclaim, call together, summon, convoke; only as t. t. in reference to religious matters; v. Kalendae, and the ancient formulary in Varr. L. L. 6, § 27 Müll.; cf. Macr. S. 1, 15: calata comitia, a kind of comitia held for the purpose of consecrating a priest or a king. Of these, some were curiata, others centuriata, Laelius Felix ap. Gell. 15, 27 sq.: Calata in Capitolium plebe, Macr. S. 1, 15; Quint. 1, 6, 33.—Hence, sarcastically, on account of bribery, calatis granis (instead of comitiis), Cic. Sest. 33, 72 Orell.
