N2 - According to Mishnah Avodah Zarah, 5, 6: “An investigatory unit/reconnoitering troop of pagans which entered town in peacetime, open jars are prohibited but sealed ones are allowed. In time of war both sorts are allowed since there is no time/availability to pour [libation wine]”. The libation in question therefore requires time. So it is probably not an ordinary libation consisting in pouring only a few drops. We suggest that it is, in fact, a singular form of Neo-Pythagorean libation shared by Roman special military units and known to the rabbis.
