Sed etsi Varro ludios a ludo id est a lusu interpretatur, sicut et Lupercos ludios appellabant, quod ludendo discurrant, tamen eum lusum iuvenum et diebus festis et templis et religionibus reputat.
Even if Varro derives the ludii from ludus (that is, from playing)'just as they used to call the Luperci ludii because in play they run hither and thither,'he nevertheless reckons this playing of the youths as belonging to festal days, temples and matters of religion.
