Subject:        Palladis Tamia

Can someone translate the title _Palladis Tamia_?  The work is
subtitled, "Wit's Treasury."  Is that to be taken as a translation of
the title? "Palladis" is apparently the genitive of "Pallas" or Athena,
who is associated with wisdom, so "Palladis" could mean "wit's."  But I
cannot find "Tamia" in any Latin-English dictionary.

Are there any Latin scholars out there?
