- Well, why was it at distillatio if it is more properly destillatio? Curious, and is it about distillation or distilled bevarages? I should have looked at the edit history, but as I said...curious...--Ioshus (disp) 19:06, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

- It was about the distillation of alcohol, and of course the drinks distilled therefrom. This has an interesting history, with many sources in Latin over the ages. The word is traditionally distillatio but this is really a corruption of destillatio "dripping down." Still, as the topic is largely post-Roman, I figured the later form was appropriate. --Iustinus 22:03, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
Now that I look, it seems the form distillatio shows up within the timespan of the L&S. I just came accross it in Palladius. --Iustinus 02:38, 30 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
