+ It was the wall of a house or other building, inner or outer, and by extension the side of a ship's hull or of a well.^(OLD 2012) In the plural it stood for houses, as Cicero says the state is not in walls, and ''intrā parietēs'' meant in private, under one's own roof.^(OLD 2012) The proverb ''duōs parietēs dē eādem fideliā dealbāre'', “to whitewash two walls from the same pot”, meant to serve two parties at once.^(OLD 2012)

+ Döderlein says ''pariēs'' is the wall as the side of a house, ''mūrus'' any wall.^(Döderlein 1874) Anatomy took [[en|paries]] for the wall of an organ, and ''parietālis'' gave [[en|parietal]].^(Wiktionary)
