Varro, On The Latin Language, 7.44


nanCakes and their bakers, Argei and priests with conical topknots. Liba 'cakes,' so named because they are made libare 'to offer' to the gods. Ficiores 'bakers' were so called from fingere 'to shape' the liba. Argei from the city Argos : the Argei are made of rushes, human figures twenty-seven in number; these are each year thrown into the Tiber from the Bridge-on-Piles, by the priests, acting on behalf of the state. These are called tutulati 'provided with tutuli,' since they at the sacrifices are accustomed to have on their heads something like a conical marker; this is called a tutulus from the fact that the twisted locks of hair which the matrons wear on the tops of their heads wrapped with a woollen band, used to be called tutuli. whether named from the fact that this was done for the purpose of tueri 'protecting' the hair, or because that which is highest in the city, namely the Citadel, was called tutissimum 'safest.'
