Unlike Priapus, who is depicted in human form with an outsized erection, Mutunus seems to have been embodied purely by the phallus, like the "fascinus" or the mysterious begetter of Servius Tullius. The god's name is related to two infrequently recorded slang words for penis in Latin, "mūtō" (or "muttō") and "mūtōnium". "Mutto" was also used as a "cognomen", the third of the three elements of a Roman man's name. Lucilius offers the earliest recorded instance of both forms: "at laeva lacrimas muttoni absterget amica" ("A girlfriend wipes away Mutto's tears — his left hand, that is"), and the derivative "mūtōnium". "Mūtōnium" may have replaced the earlier form, as it appears later among the graffiti of Pompeii. Horace has a dialogue with his "muttō": "What do you want? Surely you're not demanding a grand consul's granddaughter as a cunt?" Both Lucilius and Horace thus personify the "muttō". "Mūtūniātus", used by Martial and in the "Corpus
Priapeorum
", describes a "well-endowed" male.
